Better Calcium Bio Accessibility
Milk is widely known as the best natural source of dietary calcium, vital to maintaining strong and healthy bones. Most calcium in milk is in the form of calcium phosphate found within the casein protein.
Haelen® has a unique effect on casein protein causing it to release calcium slowly. The retention of Haelen® protein in the stomach for longer complements this effect.
Ultimately, this makes the calcium in milk more accessible to the body during digestion. Greater release of calcium means Haelen® can help consumers extract more of the valuable nutrition of milk.
Our increased need for calcium occurs during periods of growth - while we are young, or as we age and bone calcium deposits naturally decline.
”This Haelen® benefit of increased calcium accessibility is synergistic with Seniors' Nutrition and Toddler Starter Milk beverages.
