Dairy includes milk and products derived from milk (eg. yoghurt, cheese, custard and dairy desserts). Dairy food and fluids contain many nutrients that are important for good health. Specifically, dairy is the richest source of calcium in the Australian diet. It also provides several other nutrients including protein, Vitamin A and some B Vitamins, and dairy constituents (eg. probiotics). 

There is growing evidence that suggests dairy can play an important role in sports nutrition. Dairy products are practical, cost-effective and enjoyable, and their nutrient profile can lend itself to meeting many sports nutrition goals.
