One factor for optimal calcium absorption to the bone mass is the magnesium to calcium ratio.
Ideally this ratio should be 1:2.

Milk is notoriously low in magnesium in relation to calcium while green leafy plants are higher.

Good strong bones throughout life require a plant diet and excercise.

Animal protein leaches calcium from the bone.
