Nutritive values of Milk

Nothing compares to the goodness of milk. Milk is naturally packed full of essential nutrients including vitamin A, B3, B6, B12, D, E & K, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, and selenium. Milk also provides a complete source of protein (both whey and casein) for growth and development.

Protein

Cow's milk is recognized for providing high quality protein because it contains all of the essential amino acids that our bodies need in the right amounts. Protein is essential for tissue repair, healthy hair and nails, as well as to enhance muscle development and strength.

Calcium

Calcium is important to help build and maintain bones & teeth. It is also necessary for the normal functioning of nerves, heart & muscles.

Phosphorous

Milk is rich in both calcium and phosphorous. It also provides high quality protein and a range of other vitamins and minerals. The calcium, phosphorous and protein found naturally in milk and dairy foods are just as important for teeth as they are for bones, especially during childhood and adolescence.

Magnesium

This mineral is essential for many of the body's enzymes. Magnesium is also an important bone mineral and may be beneficial for the heart.

Zinc

Zinc is required for many of the enzymes, which are the production of DNA & protein. Zinc is also essential for the normal structure of the body tissues and the immune system.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is important for skin, eye, and bones health and for reproduction. The amount of vitamin A in milk depends on the amount of fat in the milk. Regular milk contains more vitamin A than reduced, low fat or skim milk. Vitamins D, E & K

These vitamins are naturally found in low concentrations in milk. Vitamin D is important throughout life as it can assist calcium uptake into bone. Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which can play a role in the immune system and fight free radicals. Vitamin K is necessary for the normal clotting of blood.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 (also called riboflavin) assists in releasing energy from our food so that it can be used by the body.

Vitamin B3

Vitamin B3 (also called niacin) is important for skin and nerves, and the digestive system. It is also involved in energy release from food in the body. Milk contains tryptophan ? an amino acid, which can be used by the body to produce vitamin B3.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 can help build new body proteins. Protein is important for the growth and maintenance of many parts of the body. It is needed for building healthy muscles, when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Vitamin B12 is required for healthy blood formation and nerves. Milk can provide a significant amount of this essential nutrient.
