WAIS Nutrition: Cover your Calcium Requirements with Brownes Calcium Plus

Are you concerned that your calcium intake might not be quite what it needs to be? Well now there is a solution! Brownes Calcium Plus milk is a product which has been fortified with calcium to help with boosting your daily calcium intake.

So, what are the effects of not consuming enough calcium? Calcium is important in the diet, as it supports bone health and assists in maintaining bone mineral density. A decrease in bone mineral density can result in bone instability as well as vulnerability to fractures.

If an individual consumes an inadequate amount of calcium in their adolescence and early adulthood this could lead to sub-optimal bone health. Poor bone health can result in osteoporosis in the later stages of life.

Whilst dairy products are the best sources of calcium, other sources include fortified soy milk and other fortified milk alternatives, tofu, sardines, canned salmon, almonds, broccoli and kale.

The Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) for calcium, developed by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, are as follows;

Every 250ml of Brownes Calcium Plus milk contains 425mg of Calcium, making it an excellent inclusion and calcium contributor in the daily diet. In comparison to other milk products Brownes Calcium Plus is approximately 30-40% higher in calcium. 

WAIS nutritionists suggest that not only is the inclusion of Brownes Calcium Plus beneficial in your daily diet, it is also great to include in your post training or competition recovery routine.
