Everyone needs calcium, but at certain times in their lives women need more calcium. Peak needs are when you are growing, when a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding and in later years. And calcium is just as important for men too.

While calcium is in canned fish with edible bones, nuts, seeds, fortified soy beverages and green leafy vegetables, dairy products are the most readily available source of calcium. A glass (250ml) of regular milk has 294mg of calcium and 9.8g of fat, but many low and fat free dairy products — including the Jalna range — have much the same, and often more, calcium than the full-fat alternatives.

Just one glass (250mg) of Jalna Yoghourt On The Go has 300mg of calcium and only 5g of fat — you might like to try the Wildberry or Strawberry.

Recommended daily intake

One cup of Yoghourt On The Go or Vitalize drink on breakfast cereal plus another glass during the day would provide around 75% of the Recommended Daily Intake of calcium for most age groups. Blend a smoothie with any Jalna drink and fresh berries or fruit for a quick pick me up. Or you could enjoy one of the Fat Free Jalna Yoghourts, including their Berry Fruit, Natural or BioDynamic Organic varieties.

Just 200g of most Jalna Fat Free yoghourts would provide around 320mg of calcium (some varieties are even higher) and no fat, while the Low Fat varieties have around 380mg. Try the Low Fat Natural Yoghourt, Vanilla, BerryFruit or Strawberry Yoghourt.

But if you prefer a richer yoghourt, Jalna Premium Vanilla Creamy Yoghourt has 400mg of calcium while Jalna Greek Style Natural Yoghourt has 260mg.
