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.
