What does vitamin D have to do with healthy bones?
Did you know that without adequate vitamin D, our bodies can not absorb the calcium and phosphorus we need for strong healthy bones and teeth. This can lead to weak and fragile bones (osteoporosis) in later life. When our skin is exposed to sunlight, our bodies are able to manufacture vitamin D. However, our Canadian climate often prevents us from going outside, so vitamin D is added to milk. As one of our staple foods, milk is the best way to ensure that we get the amount of vitamin D we need. 250ml of Marybelle milk contains 44% of our recommended daily intake of vitamin D.
