RECOVER AND REFUEL WITH SHAMROCK FARMS CHOCOLATE MILK.

Already love the rich, creamy taste of Shamrock Farms chocolate milk? Here’s another reason to indulge: Recent research* shows that Chocolate Milk is nearly twice as effective as commercial sports drinks to refuel exhausted muscles and make energy available.

The healthy, natural beverage has similar carbohydrate content to sports drinks, which helps refuel muscles, and high-quality protein, which has been shown to help muscle recovery.

Athletes should take a 4:1 ratio of carbs to high-quality protein within one hour of training – when the body is most receptive to nutrients. Carbs or protein are not as effective when taken alone.

These essential carbs and proteins are naturally combined in chocolate milk’s delicious goodness. What’s more, Shamrock Farms chocolate milk varieties – including Shamrockers™ 1% lowfat mmmmilks, No Sugar Added 1% chocolate mmmmilk and 2% reduced fat flavored mmmmilk – offer the body a plethora of other needed nutrients, such as Vitamin D, riboflavin and calcium.

Which Shamrock Farms chocolate milk is best for you?

• Shamrock Farms’ fresh, wholesome Shamrockers™ are made with 1% lowfat Shamrock Farms milk, less sugar and fewer calories than typical flavored milk.
• Shamrock Farms No Sugar Added 1% Chocolate mmmmilk has 40 percent fewer calories than 1% chocolate milk and is sweetened with SPLENDA® Brand Sweetner. It has all the great taste of Shamrock Farms regular flavored milks, but with reduced sugar, calories, fat and carbohydrates.
• Shamrock Farms 2% reduced fat flavored mmmmilk has 38% less fat than flavored whole milk and does not use artificial sweetners.

No matter which great-tasting Shamrock Farms variety is enjoyed after activity, know that chocolate milk's unique combination of viatmins and nutrients makes it the perfect sports recovery beverage.

DAIRY: BUILDING STRONG FAMILIES

We all know that dairy is full of healthy vitamins and minerals. But with so many choices to eat and drink, why dairy? It’s a great source of calcium, which has been scientifically proven to help you build and maintain strong bones. Of course, it’s especially important to drink lots of milk when you’re a kid. But adults need dairy, too. If you don’t get enough calcium now, your body will steal it from your bones, causing future problems like osteoporosis.

The USDA reports that about 75% of the calcium available in the American diet comes from dairy foods. Dairy foods are the most economical and effective way to naturally get the calcium we need. It is not only what the body needs, but new scientific research suggests that calcium plays a role in the body’s natural system for burning fat.

Now you know why dairy is so important for your family. But why should you choose Shamrock Farms? Well, Shamrock Farms is a real farm, right here in Arizona, that has been serving Arizona families for over 80 years. So it’s the freshest, best-tasting dairy you can buy. What’s more, Shamrock Farms offers a variety of farm-fresh ways to include dairy in your diet. To learn about our on-the-go mmmmilk in tempting flavors, Splenda® sweetened product line and popular dairy products, click here.

SHAMROCK FARMS DAIRY IS PACKED WITH GREAT TASTE AND GREAT NUTRITION.

Calcium: It’s the single nutrient most likely to be missing from the American diet. Calcium helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It’s also vital for nerve function, muscle contraction, and blood clotting.

• Protein: Vitally important for a number of bodily functions such as brain development and the growth of body tissues.
• Vitamin A: Maintains normal vision and skin. Also helps the immune system and regulates cell growth.
• Vitamin B-12: Essential for the growth and health of the nervous system. Also linked to normal activity of folic acid and is involved in blood formation.
• Vitamin D: Promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus nutrients into bones, helping strengthen them.
• Potassium: Regulates the body’s fluid balance and blood pressure. Also needed for muscle activity and contractions.
• Phosphorus: Helps generate energy in the body’s cells and helps strengthen bones.
• Niacin: Keeps enzymes functioning normally and helps the body process sugars and fatty acids. Also important for the development of the nervous system.
• Riboflavin: Helps produce energy in the body’s cells and plays a vital role in the development of the nervous system.

GROWTH HORMONES

We know many of you closely monitor the food you buy for yourself and your families. And as Arizona’s hometown dairy, we are committed to delivering you only the freshest quality products. Part of our promise to you is that we never have and never will treat our herd with the growth hormone rBST*.

Shamrock Farms prefers the traditional way of doing things and has excellent milk production from its herd of more than 10,000 cows that thrive in their ideal living environment. We believe that the way we treat our cows will keep them producing the highest quality milk for Arizona families.

If you are concerned with the use of supplemental growth hormones in your milk supply, we want to reassure you that it is not an issue with our herd.

* No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST treated cows.
