Re-fortified Loya Milk - More than just milk. A must read!!!

Do you recall reading about the need for Calcium in our body system on this blog?  

Yes we were all informed and excited about the mineral requirements for good health in growing families and even adults in general.

If you remember, we mentioned some certain facts and let’s state them again…

• Calcium is most abundant mineral in the body with over 99% stored in the bones and teeth, and the remaining 1% in the body’s tissues and intercellular fluids.
• The skeleton of a young adult male contains about 1.2kg of this body nutrient - calcium
• It is also important for nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, the stimulation of hormone secretion and the activation of enzyme reaction.
• Typically in children there is more deposition to build bone. In adults deposition roughly equals absorption to maintain bone strength.

In response to the daily need for calcium, the foremost provider of nutritional value for growing families, Promasidor Nigeria Limited has recently re-launched their premium milk brand Loya milk for the benefit all. 

It is joy to the heart that a Nigerian company has taken up that we all get the best of calcium in our diets with the improved and re-fortified Loya milk with 50% more calcium. The repackaged and refortified Loya milk offers consumers more Calcium for building and maintaining better bones, tougher teeth and a healthier heart. To maintain bone strength, the body continually balances absorption and deposition of calcium into new bone.  

So really we all, young and old do need calcium hence  when the news broke that the re-packaged LOYA milk being refortified with 50% more Calcium, than before , what a relief that  finally someone cares about us enough to give us exactly what we need, especially in this side of the world where our diet is heavily carbohydrates based. 

At the consumer launch held recently in Lagos at the Federal Palace Hotel Victoria Island where celebrities, the crème de la crème alongside representative of the Nutrition Society of Nigeria and Dietician Association of Nigeria witnessed the rebirth of Loya milk in most serene environment.

   

The special guest of honours at the launch event were Professor Ignatius Onimawo, National President Nutrition Society of Nigeria and Mrs. Mary Jane Umeh, National secretary of the Dietician Association of Nigeria with key note addresses on the “value of calcium to a growing Nigerian family”.

 

The Managing Director Promasidor Nig.Limited Mr. Keith Richards said at the event; “We have really done our homework on the refortified Hi-calcium Loya milk, and this we did in order to offer the growing Nigerian family both young and young at heart a product that offers them not only a healthier diet mix but also top shelf quality that meets worlds class standards”  

Speaking further, the GM marketing Promasidor Kachi Onubogu asserts “Calcium is an essential part of our everyday lives especially in our growing children and we have introduced the a calcium-Loya® milk to demonstrate that we do care about our consumer welfare and overall health status, so we are really excited about this and how well this product will do in the market based on the nutritional value we are bringing to the growing family in Nigeria” 

And according to the National Secretary of the Dietician Association of Nigeria Mrs. Mary Jane Umeh of the Nnamdi Azikwe University Teaching Hospital says “ We all should greatly appreciate Promasidor Nigeria Limited for all their efforts and since calcium is a major component of mineralized tissues that is required for normal growth and skeletal development, optimal calcium intake is important for every member of a growing family to maximize peak adult bone mass and its  maintenance, to minimize the elderly bone loss and prevent a number of common chronic medical disorders in our families in particular and Nigeria at large”
