The present invention relates to a thin mouthfeel, calcium-fortified, beverage to be used to provide dietary calcium supplementation. Said thin mouthfeel calcium-fortified beverage has been calcium-fortified by means of a calcium (lactate) gluconate citrate. It has been found that calcium (lactate) gluconate citrate has a high dissolution rate, a very good taste and sufficient solubility for use in thin mouthfeel beverages. It even performs well as a calcium source in calcium-fortified waters and enhanced (near) water beverages in which the taste requirements are even more demanding than in normal soft drinks. The invention is also directed to calcium-fortified water and enhanced (near) water beverage comprising calcium (lactate) gluconate citrate.
