Vegans looking for a source of calcium should know that many brands of frozen concentrate orange juice are calcium-fortified but don’t list vitamin D on the label. This is in contrast to most cartons of ready-to-serve orange juice which contain both calcium and vitamin D. The vitamin D in cartons of orange juice is typically vitamin D3 (derived from sheep’s wool).

Here are some brands of frozen orange juice concentrate that contain calcium, but don’t list vitamin D:
Giant 100% Pure Orange Juice – Frozen Concentrate with Calcium

Minute Maid Frozen Concentrate Orange Juice with Calcium

Stop and Shop Frozen Concentrate Orange Juice with Calcium

ShopRite Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate with Calcium

Old http://rtetracyclineuse.com Orchard 100% Juice with Calcium

If you find other brands, please let us know. You may notice that some brands of frozen orange juice contain calcium lactate.This is not a dairy-based ingredient.

Since vitamin D promotes calcium absorption, be sure your diet has vegan sources of vitamin D like fortified plant milks (most use D2) or vitamin D supplements.At least 10 to 15 minutes of summer sun exposure two or three times a week is another way to get the vitamin D that you need. Don’t forget the sunscreen once those 10-15 minutes are up!
