“Many people do not consume enough calcium and other essential minerals in their diet, and diseases such as osteoporosis and brittle bones have become a very big concern in the global population” comments Jerry O’Dea, President of Glanbia Nutritionals.

Research recently conducted by Glanbia, indicated a strong misconception held by the consumer that all calcium comes from milk and a profound lack of awareness that currently, the main types of calcium used in calcium-enriched foods is chemically synthesized.
