How much calcium does milk contain to be called high calcium milk?

Milk with calcium content of 1.20 mg can be called high calcium milk.

Generally speaking, the calcium content in common milk per 100 ml is about 90 mg-120 mg. According to the stipulation of "content claim" in the latest nutrition labeling standard in China, only the calcium content reaches or exceeds a certain value (30%NRV, that is, about 120 mg/100 ml) can it be called "high calcium milk".

However, in 2008, some researchers investigated the calcium content of several common brands of high-calcium milk and ordinary pure milk, and found that the calcium content of high-calcium milk was only a little higher than that of pure milk. For example, in every 100 ml of milk, the calcium content of brand 1 pure milk is 79.2 mg, while the calcium content of its high-calcium milk is 8 1.2 mg; The calcium content of brand 2 pure milk is 97.3 mg.

The calcium content of its high calcium milk is 107.4 mg. It can be seen that the calcium content of many products called high calcium milk may not reach more than 25% compared with ordinary whole milk, and there is not such a big gap compared with ordinary skim milk.

Extended data:

The calcium absorption rate of milk is very high, of which 1/3 will be absorbed directly, and the other 2/3 will be combined with casein, which will be released with the digestion of casein and easily absorbed. In addition to dairy products, there are many other foods that can supplement calcium and strengthen bones:

3. Nuts: sesame and sesame paste: The calcium content of sesame and sesame paste is above 600mg/ 100g, which is also very high. In addition, sesame is rich in VE and unsaturated fatty acids, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health.

4. Dried bean curd: Tofu: For vegetarians, tofu is the best calcium supplement food. Every 100g of tofu contains calcium 164mg, and beans are rich in protein, which is soft and easy to digest, so it is very suitable for the elderly and children.
