Nutrional Data
We all know that milk is good for us but do we know why? One 200ml glass of milk is bursting full of vitamins and minerals and the list below shows some of these vitamins & minerals and what they do for our bodies.
| Calcium | For bones and teeth |
|---|---|
| Vitamin A | For eyesight |
| Vitamin B12 | For red blood cells |
| Carbohydrate | For energy |
| Magnesium | For muscle function |
| Phosphorus | For release of energy |
| Potassium | For nerve function |
| Protein | For growth and repair |
| Riboflavin | For healthy skin |
| Zinc | For immune function |
| Vitamin D | Helps absorb Calcium * |
*(Although vitamin D is not found in milk (it comes from Sunlight!), you need Vitamin D to help you absorb calcium into your body.)
