    Yogurt has a certain calcium supplement effect. Lactic acid bacteria decompose lactose in milk into lactic acid, which reduces the content of lactose, but retains other nutrients in milk, so yogurt still has the effect of calcium supplementation. In fact, the absorption rate of calcium in yogurt is higher than that in milk, because lactic acid can promote the absorption of various minerals such as calcium. In addition, there are peptides such as CPP produced by protein decomposition in yogurt, which can also promote calcium absorb.
