Description
Calcium is an essential nutrient needed by our bodies every day
to build and maintain healthy bones and teeth, and our requirements
change as we age. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
established a required daily value (DV) of calcium at 1000 mg/day
for adults and children older than the age of four, but estimates
show insufficient consumption of calcium across all levels of the US
population.
While calcium is the most common contributor to bone health,
bone diseases result from more than just a lack of calcium.
Many calcium balance studies with humans and animals conclude
that maintaining a proper balance of calcium-to- phosphorus promotes
osteogenic growth and that strong bones depend on availability of
both calcium and phosphorus.
The general under-consumption of calcium has led to a
revolution in the general food market, especially in beverages. The
challenge has been to produce a clear beverage fortified with
calcium phosphate as traditional products exhibit poor
solubility, cloudiness, and sedimentation. Innophos researchers have
solved this challenge with VersaCAL® Clear, a blend of anhydrous
Monocalcium phosphate (MCP0) and Monocalcium phosphate monohydrate
(MCP1). VersaCAL® Clear has complete solubility and shelf stability
with a minimal effect on the product pH, even when added at high
levels.
