You've probably heard it since you were a kid: Drink your milk and get your Calcium.
Of
all the minerals working to regulate the systems in your body, Calcium
is one of the most important. In addition to its primary function of
supporting strong bones and teeth—99% of the body’s Calcium is found in
the bones and teeth—Calcium is involved with heartbeat regulation, plays
a role in proper muscle contraction and promotes nerve function.**
However,
your body doesn't produce Calcium naturally, so the keys to maintaining
bone health include a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate
intake of Calcium and Vitamin D. ** The National Institute of Health
reports that more than 40 million people either already have
osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass. Adequate Calcium
consumption throughout life as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce
the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
Puritan's
Pride Absorbable Calcium with Vitamin D3 makes it easy to supplement
your Calcium intake. And our Calcium softgels are rapid-releasing
meaning the pre-dissolved liquid Calcium is released quickly into your
system after ingestion. So your mom was right—Calcium plays a big part
in supporting an active, healthy lifestyle.
