Three servings of dairy a day, 3-A-DAY™ as part of a healthy, balanced diet, will help contribute to your calcium needs for one day. However, dairy doesn’t only contain calcium. Dairy products contain essential nutrients, ranging from vitamin A to zinc. Everyone in the family can benefit from dairy’s nutrients by consuming three dairy products every day. This will help make the diet nutrient-rich as dairy contains many nutrients.

Dairy’s nutrients include:

• vitamins A, B12 and riboflavin;
• phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and zinc; and
• protein

Research has shown that people who consume dairy products daily have better nutrient intake. Dairy products also collectively supply four of the seven nutrients that adults struggle to obtain daily. These include calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamin A.

REMEMBER: The whole family need these nutrients for healthy bodies!
