The Benefits of Calcium and Vitamin D
Research** shows that amongst children aged 5-12 years old in Ireland around 30% are not consuming enough calcium and 88% are not consuming enough vitamin D!
A diet low in Calcium and Vitamin D could lead to fragile bones later in life.
That’s because Calcium is essential to help build strong bones early in life. Even though we don’t hear that much about Vitamin D, it is just as important as Calcium because it is essential to maximise absorption of calcium in the body.
* Based on a comparison with the calcium content of an unfortified fromage frais.** IUNA National Children’s Food Survey, 2005.
