Key ingredients 3

Partly skimmed milk
Good

Partly skimmed milk is a good source of protein and calcium, essential for bone health. It is minimally processed, retaining most of its natural nutrients. Compared to whole milk, it has reduced fat content, making it a lighter option for those monitoring fat intake.

Benefits

Provides essential nutrients such as calcium and protein, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance.

Vitamin D3
Good

Vitamin D3 is crucial for calcium absorption and bone health, often added to milk to enhance its nutritional profile. It is the most effective form of vitamin D for raising blood levels. Fortification addresses common deficiencies, especially in regions with limited sunlight exposure.

Benefits

Enhances calcium absorption and supports bone health, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
