Make no bones about
it
Calcium is the essential
nutrient for the formation of bone tissue. All calcium used in the body
must be provided by the diet and absorbed and utilized efficiently. One of
the most important needs for calcium is to develop and maintain bone mass
and bone mineral density. Bone mass is accrued from birth and peaks at
around the age of 20-25 years old. Then it begins to decline with age. If
sufficient bone mass is not formed during childhood, the risk of bones
weakening (osteoporosis) is significantly increased later in life.
Added calcium with the
same great taste
Calci-N is a natural
mineral concentrate from milk, designed for fast-growing children from 6
years of age, which can be used to fortify foods and beverages to increase
both calcium intake and bioavailability for better absorption. Especially
for children that cannot or don’t drink milk, Calci-N can help them get
the calcium they need for adequate bone growth and development.
Calci-N has a pleasing
taste and can be used to fortify dairy products, cereals, chocolate,
beverages and fruit juices so that kids obtain added calcium without a
change in flavor.
Studies conducted at the
Nestlè Research Center and the University of
Geneva found that
children supplemented with Calci-N significantly increased bone mineral
density, and even three years later, maintained the increase in bone
mineral density.
