                              1. Calcium is present in milk, cheese and dairy products, so vegetarians who consume milk and milk products are likely to have adequate intakes of calcium.
                                1. non-haem iron is obtained freom sources such as eggs, cereal foods, green vegetables, nut and pulses. It is important to remember that if vitamin C is consumed from fruit, fruit juices and vegetables this will enhance the absorption of non-haem iron.
