Everything you need to give your family dairy the fun and easy way.

What is 3-A-Day?

America's low calcium intake is recognized as a major public health concern. To address this issue, the American Dairy Association and the National Dairy Council, with support from health professional associations, launched "3-A-Day of Dairy," a multi-year health and wellness campaign. The campaign raises awareness of the overall health benefits of consuming milk, cheese and yogurt with a simple call-to-action: Eat three servings of milk, cheese and yogurt each day. The program's messages are grounded in science and based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

The American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Dietetic Association, National Hispanic Medical Association, National Medical Association, and School Nutrition Association all support the 3-A-Day of Dairy program.
