Living in Finland in the EU, I am very confused as to why none of the vegan milk products contain added calcium. Children need a certain amount of calcium which they easily get through cows milk. But not so through vegan milk, because it does not naturally contain calcium.

Are there any laws that forbid adding calcium in your country? Is there any other reason as to why oat and soy based milk products don’t get added calcium?

    @Sibbo Leafy greens are the key. They’re a great source of calcium, as well as the vitamin K to more propely absorb it. For added benefit be sure to consume them with a bit of nuts and/or seeds which will further help absorption with healthy fats, and going outside after eating them to get vitamin D. Also greens continue photosynthesizing in our bodies if we’re in sunlight, and that naturally regenerates coQ10.
