ACHIEVING RIGHT BALANCE OF CALCIUM

Right Balance of Calcium: Calcium is important for optimal bone health throughout your life. Although diet is the best way to get calcium, calcium supplements may be an option if your diet falls short. Before you consider calcium supplements, be sure you understand how much calcium you need, the pros and cons of calcium supplements, and which type of supplement to choose.

THE NATURE CALCIUM 1000

Right Balance of Calcium: Your body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. Your heart, muscles and nerves also need calcium to function properly. Some studies suggest that calcium, along with vitamin D, may have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. But evidence about such health benefits is not definitive.

Right Balance of Calcium: If you don't get enough calcium, you could face health problems related to weak bones. Children may not reach their full potential adult height. Adults may have low bone mass, which is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Many individuals don’t get enough calcium in their diets. Children and adolescent girls are at risk, but so are adults age 50 and older.

THE NATURE CALCIUM 1000

Right Balance of Calcium: Your body doesn't produce calcium, so you must get it through other sources. Calcium can be found in a variety of foods. To absorb calcium, your body also needs vitamin D. A few foods naturally contain small amounts of vitamin D, such as canned salmon with bones and egg yolks. You can also get vitamin D from fortified foods and sun exposure.
