How to get the most calcium possible from food on a vegan diet?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Here's some sources: Some sources: calcium-fortified soy & tofu, dark green veggies like collards, kale, spinach & turnip greens, okra, cowpeas & beans for starters. Write down what you eat for a week, figure out the calcium, divide by 7 and see if you are getting the recommended amount (1000mg/day for 19-50yo). Get your vitamin D: 20-25 min sunlight exposure, Dole's portobello mushrooms. Hope that helps.

It's very difficult: Becoming a vegan is something you do for moral reasons rather than to improve your health, despite all the "pop" claims. You MUST supplement, for calcium, iron, B12, and several other nutrients. Get with a vegan-friendly evidence-based physician or a real-science book.
