Calcium has been identified as a nutrient of concern in the American diet by the Dietary Guidelines (2005). Only 12% of women and 37% of men achieve the recommended intake for calcium (1) Therefore, many products, such as orange juice, are being fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Just one glass of fortified orange juice is an excellent source of calcium, providing as much as a glass of milk.

Not all fortified orange juices are created equal. Tropicana Pure Premium® Calcium + Vitamin D orange juice is fortified with calcium citrate malate, or FruitCal®. This patented calcium source is a highly absorbable form of calcium.
