Is fortified orange juice a good way to get calcium???

Post by Carrie »

Hi everyone. I've been drinking orange juice fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Is that a good way to get some calcium? I know little about the subject but seem to recall that not all types of calcium get absorbed. Thanks!

Love, Carrie

Carrie,

I don't know about the types of CA absorbed, but I just wanted to say that Orange Juice gives me problems. I react by puking. I suppose those of us with other fruit intolerances would know this because we puke, but I wonder if maybe orange juice could affect you in other ways.. just a thought..

Hi Carrie! Orange Juice doesn't bother me, and it really doesn't bother my hernia either for some reason. If I drink OJ on a regular basis, it makes my finger nails groww and my hair also. Love Oma

I have a vaugue recollection that vitamin C also helps with calcium absorbtion. I drink the fortified stuff too, so I'll be interested to see what others say.

Don't think it was a problem for me. Need to get back on it, as a matter of fact. If it begins to cause problems, will get back here to let everyone know.
Yours, Luce
