Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When it comes to calcium, the first food that probably comes to mind is cow’s milk. Undoubtedly, cow’s milk is an excellent source of calcium, with 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) providing 309 milligrams or 24% of your Daily Value.

Detailed explanation-2: -The best sources of calcium are dairy products, including milk, yogurt, cheese, and calcium-fortified beverages such as almond and soy milk. Calcium is also found in dark-green leafy vegetables, dried peas and beans, fish with bones, and calcium-fortified juices and cereals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Milk. Milk is one of the best and most widely available sources of calcium available. One cup (237 mL) of cow’s milk has 306–325 mg, depending on whether it’s whole or nonfat milk. The calcium in dairy is also absorbed very well ( 52, 53 ).
