Dairy products are somewhat lower in calcium density. Whole milk, for example, contains 377mg of calcium in a 200-calorie serving.

If you are looking to increase your calcium intake, due to low calcium in your body, you need to also increase your magnesium intake. Magnesium helps in the absorption of calcium in the body.

Dairy products, while high in calcium, are low in magnesium. Green vegetables are high in magnesium.
