How much calcium is in a glass of whole milk?

Answer by  carolynjo48 (29)

There are 34 mg of calcium in one ounce of whole milk, so there would be 272 milligrams of calcium in eight ounces. Although low fat or skim milk is a healthier choice for you, some people suggest drinking whole milk because the additional fat is actually needed to help better absorb the calcium.
