Along the way, priorities such as sustained energy, skin health, immunity, and digestive comfort guide dietary choices. Valio’s dairy-based solutions support these needs with science-backed ingredients that provide high-quality protein and key nutrients, enabling brands to develop concepts and products that truly resonate with women’s wellness. Protein ## Protein – a foundation for women’s nutrition Protein is an essential part of women’s health, supporting lean muscle, metabolism, bone strength, and overall vitality through every life stage. It also contributes to satiety and sustained energy during busy days. For women approaching menopause, both protein and calcium play a key role in protecting against bone loss, while nutrients such as iron, vitamin D, and zinc further support energy, immunity, and skin health. Valio’s milk-based solutions provide high-quality protein along with naturally present dairy nutrients such as calcium. These can be further enriched to meet specific needs, like we have done in our Iron and Skin health milk powder concept for women, or developed into convenient formats like fortified dairy drinks and powders designed for women’s wellness.
