Between the ages of 10 and 18, dairy consumption in teenagers drops and many teens simply don't get enough calcium at a time when they most need it. In-fact, 80% of boys and girls aged between 11 and 14 do not consume the recommended amount of calcium needed for essential bone health¹. Yoplait Dairy Crest (YDC) is helping to combat this trend with Yop, the smooth and fruity drinking yogurt for teens which is full with calcium.
