I just learned something that may be helpful to others. Vitamins on food labels are listed as a % of Daily Value based on a 2,000 calorie/day diet. For calcium, the FDA's recommended Daily Value is 1,000 mg. To determine how many mg are in a serving, simply replace the % with a 0. So 25% of DV would be 25 mg. You can find the Recommended DV on the FDA's website if you want to convert other nutrients. I found that I'm consuming more calcium than I would have expected so I can cut back on calcium supplements
