Nine Essential Nutrients

Good taste meets great health. Milk is packed full of nine essential nutrients that your body needs: calcium, vitamins A, D and B12, protein, potassium, riboflavin, niacin and phosphorus. So what’ll it be – a chalky multivitamin or a smooth, delicious glass of milk?

Milk’s nine essential nutrients contribute to good health throughout the body:

  • Calcium builds strong bones and is especially important for women who may be prone to osteoporosis.
  • Vitamin A works to ensure healthy vision, skin and immune system function.
  • Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium and helps boost the immune system.
  • Vitamin B12 helps give the body energy, and promotes normal brain and nervous system activity.
  • Protein is essential for healthy muscles, skin, hair and virtually everything in your body!
  • Potassium keeps blood pressure regulated and body fluids balanced.
  • Riboflavin helps the body process other nutrients to gain energy.
  • Niacin helps maintain good cholesterol levels and rid the body of toxins.
  • Phosphorus works in concert with calcium and vitamin D to build strong bones.
