Are you getting enough calcium?
Our bones are not static; rather they are constantly remodeling themselves. Aside from the skeleton’s main function providing structure and stability to our body, it basically acts like a calcium ATM machine.
If calcium is needed elsewhere in the body, hormones will take it from bone if there isn’t enough coming in from the diet. Too many withdrawals without enough deposits and your calcium account will be overdrawn — weakening the bones and possibly leading to fractures or even osteoporosis.
Calcium is one of the main components needed for building bone. According to Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, most Japanese adults should get at least 600 mg of calcium every day. But in fact, the daily average intake of calcium is about 500 mg.
USANA’s Active Calcium provides 600 mg per day to support your bone health.
Calcium is Not Enough — Other Key Players for Bone Support
Calcium is not the only mineral needed for building bone, however, and that’s where Active Calcium establishes itself as a superior choice — not only does it provide an optimal amount of calcium, it also is formulated with a blend of additional nutrients that complement each other to provide the best absorption and effectiveness:
Vitamin D — promotes calcium absorption/utilization and enables normal mineralization of bone. It supports bone growth and bone remodeling. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Studies have shown vitamin D to support bone health in the elderly and postmenopausal women.
Magnesium — has been shown to help slow bone turnover, which can reduce bone density loss. It is also needed to help calcium get into the bones instead of collecting in soft tissue.
And as always Active Calcium carries USANA’s Potency Guarantee and is listed in the PDR, so you know the product is pure, safe, and effective.
If you need to bone up on your bone health, give Active Calcium a try!
