Each 100g provides 127mg calcium (10% DV). Daily consumption contributes to calcium pool, supporting bone mineralization. However, without adequate vitamin D and phosphorus (only 8mg per 100g), calcium absorption may be suboptimal. Timeframe: weeks to months for measurable bone density effects.
With a glycemic index of 36 and load of 5, this juice is low-glycemic. The 11.1g carbs per 100g are mostly sugars (9g), but the low GI means a slower glucose release, avoiding sharp insulin spikes. This is beneficial for insulin sensitivity if consumed in moderation.
Each 100g delivers 9g sugar (18% DV) but only 0.4g fiber. Daily consumption can push sugar intake toward the 25g daily limit, especially if portion sizes exceed 100g. Over time, this may contribute to dental caries and metabolic strain, despite the low GI.
With only 0.06g protein and 0.1g fat per 100g, this juice lacks macronutrients that promote fullness. Relying on it daily could lead to increased hunger and overeating, potentially displacing more nutrient-dense foods.
Verdict
Eating this daily provides a convenient calcium boost with low glycemic impact, but the high sugar-to-fiber ratio and lack of protein/fat make it a poor daily staple. Use it as an occasional supplement, not a regular beverage.
⚠️ Who Should Avoid
- Infants under 6 months (juice not recommended)
- People with diabetes or prediabetes (even low GI, sugar adds up)
- Individuals with calcium kidney stones (excess calcium without balanced phosphorus/magnesium)
