Orange juice from concentrate, fortified with calcium — is a beverage that can be made from orange juice concentrate and additionally fortified with calcium.
Orange juice concentrate is natural juice from which water has been partially removed during production. The concentrate can be made from fresh oranges or from reconstituted juice.
Fortification with calcium can be achieved by adding calcium carbonate, citrate, or other calcium salts. This helps increase the calcium content in the product.
It is important to note that calcium fortification does not replace a balanced diet and should not replace the consumption of dairy products, which are the main source of calcium for the body.
When choosing orange juice from concentrate fortified with calcium, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients, shelf life, and manufacturer. It should also be noted that fortified juice may contain fewer vitamins and minerals than juice made from fresh oranges.
It is recommended to consult with a doctor or a dietitian before consuming calcium-fortified orange juice, especially if you have any medical conditions or you are taking medications.
