Stonyfield Farm has renamed 2-a-Day, its high-calcium yogurt, YoCalcium. The company claims the yogurt contains more than twice the calcium of other leading yogurts, plus vitamin D and inulin to boost calcium absorption. Each serving of YoCalcium contains 50% of the recommended DV (Daily Values) of calcium.
"Getting enough calcium is a concern for everyone, and we wanted to make the benefits of this yogurt as clear as possible," said Stonyfield Farm President and CEO, Gary Hirshberg. "It has never been easier to get the nutrition you and your family need and in such a convenient, tasty treat."
And since calcium absorption is a key follow-up to adequate calcium intake, YoCalcium also contains 20% of the recommended DV of vitamin D, as well as inulin, a natural dietary fibre, which are both proven to help boost calcium absorption.
YoCalcium has a new look, and following Stonyfield Farm's organic conversion last autumn, it bears a USDA-certified organic label as well. That means YoCalcium is made without antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones or toxic, persistent pesticides.
Packed in six ounce cups, YoCalcium is available in new Wild Berry and Strawberry, Raspberry and the ever popular Apricot Mango.
