Benefits
Rich in calcium and vitamin D, which are crucial for bone health. Provides high-quality protein that supports muscle maintenance and growth.
Vitamin A palmitateNeutral
Vitamin A palmitate is added to fortify milk with vitamin A, which is essential for vision and immune function. It is a synthetic form of vitamin A, commonly used in reduced-fat dairy products to replace the vitamin A lost during fat removal. While it serves a functional purpose, it does not offer additional health benefits beyond vitamin A supplementation.
Risks
Excessive intake of vitamin A palmitate can lead to hypervitaminosis A, but this is unlikely from milk consumption alone.
Benefits
Helps maintain adequate vitamin A levels, supporting vision and immune health.
