Ideal for: Vegans, heavy exercisers, anyone who’s lactose intolerant.
 
Proven benefits: Our bones reach peak strength and calcium levels when we hit 30. This mineral keeps them strong longer. It also helps nerves to carry important messages throughout the body and may reduce pesky PMS symptoms like bloating and headaches.
 
Real-food option: 1 cup yogurt, 1 cup spinach, 1 oz hard cheese.
