Malaysian pregnant mothers are deficient in important nutrients.
Studies have shown that most pregnant mothers in Malaysia did not achieve the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) for essential nutrients.
and…. 97% of pregnant mothers did not achieve RNI for Calcium (Hamid et al., 2019)
2. Calcium
Essential during pregnancy, calcium supports baby’s bone and teeth development, prevents leg cramps for the mother, and reduces the risk of preeclampsia. This supplement is crucial for pregnant women allergic to milk or with difficulty absorbing calcium. Recommended daily doses: 1300 mg (ages 14-18) and 1000 mg (ages 19-50).
One of the most effective recognized ways for the prevention of calcium deficiency is food fortification. However there are some problems associated to calcium Ca fortification such as:
☒ Poor dispersibility
☒ Animal source of calcium
☒ Low bioavailability
☒ Low calcium concentration
Despite dairy supplying 70% of calcium, overall intake remains low. Meet Lipocal™: a water-dispersible, bioavailable calcium source. Derived from non-animal origins, it’s microencapsulated for optimal absorption, standing out for vegetarians.
LIPOCAL™ microcapsules offer a revolutionary delivery system, enhancing dispersibility and absorption. Compared to raw tricalcium phosphate and dairy calcium, Lipocal™ ensures superior bioavailability, concentration, and efficacy, catering to all dietary needs.
