Why fortify
with calcium?
Calcium is necessary for development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth,
as well as for many different biochemical processes. In case of low calcium
consumption, the human body reacts by pulling calcium away from the bones to
maintain the functionality of the biochemical processes. Continuous shortage of
calcium leads to brittle bones and osteoporosis. The major food sources of
calcium are dairy products. Changing eating patterns result in insufficient
calcium consumption. Growing consumer awareness of the health benefits has led
to more people actively look for food products fortified with calcium. When
developing a calcium-fortified product, the main parameters used to determine
the right calcium source are flavor, solubility, bioavailability, mineral
content, costs, ease-of-processing, natural image and stability in application.
