From my understanding of a brief scan of
literature today, there are a few Calcium sources
in dairy, one being a calcium trapped in a casein
micelle, also Whey can bind calcium. The calcium
is bound and must be released to be bioavailable.
Proteins and peptides can influence (decrease?)
availability. A snip from a long Review:
Cow's milk contains an average of 1.20 g calcium
per liter, 20% of which is bound to casein as an
insoluble organic colloid and the remaining 80%
in mineral form (45% in the tricalcium phosphate
of the phospho-caseinate, which is also insoluble
and colloidal, and 35% soluble, including 12% as
ionized calcium) (full text :
