Too much calcium?

[sark666]

I'll use queal standard as reference. It contains 0,45 g of calcium per 167 grams. So if the entire bag is consumed one would get 1.35 grams of calcium. I know it varies from place to place, but that's well over recommended intake is it not?

According to your nutritional info sheet, the 1 meal (167 grams) is 75% of the daily intake right there.

A couple of other stand outs are Manganese (at 90% per 167 grams) and Phosphorus (at 74% per 167 grams).

Is there any reason these aren't more in line with daily intake recommendations and is there any concerns for one that wanted to make queal the majority of their meals?

Hey @sark666, good question!

The reason that the amount of calcium, manganese and fosfor in our Steady are relatively high is because it’s already present in the ingredients we use (like the oats).

Although higher than recommended, the levels are all under the upper limit boundaries. So there’s no need to be concerned if you’re consuming Steady 3 times a day.

Hope that answers your question!

thank you for posting this. I guess this shows that Queal is still well under the amount of calcium that is determied safe for the entire population. and that we would probably have to be somsuming nearly 2 full bags of queal a day to go over teh recomended daily intake.
