*Calcium is the most common mineral found in your body, accounting for
about 2% of your total weight. The majority of calcium, 99%, resides in
your teeth and bones, while the remainder is found in nerve cells,
blood, body tissues and other body fluids. Long associated with the
growth and maintenance of bones and teeth, calcium is also essential for
the clotting of blood and the transmission of nerve impulses. Calcium is
needed for our muscles to function and to release hormones, including
insulin. According to the USDA, 75 percent of Americans are not meeting
daily calcium recommendations.
Calcium is the major mineral that helps strengthen bones. Children and
teenagers especially need adequate calcium in their diets, as the
pre-teen and teen years are when they maximize the calcium storage in
their bones, thus helping to prevent problems later in life involving a
reduction in the amount of bone mass. This is true because peak bone
mass and calcium content of the skeleton is reached during the teen
years. ens, especially girls, are at greater risk for developing
weakened bones and having disabling injuries later in life. Bone calcium
begins to decrease in young adulthood, and progressive loss of bone
calcium occurs as we age, particularly in women. Adequate dietary
calcium can help minimize this loss. A diet high in calcium appears to
encourage the body to burn more fat and cuts the amount of new fat laid
down by the body.
Estimates show that roughly 30 to 50 million Americans are lactose
intolerant. People who are lactose intolerant cannot digest lactose, a
natural sugar found in milk and dairy products, and therefore may not be
consuming enough dairy products for their Calcium needs. For individuals
who either cannot tolerate any lactose or do not like dairy products,
Calcium supplements may be an option. The most effective is Calcium
Citrate, because it dissolves easily in the stomach and is absorbed
efficiently.Forever Calcium is an ultra-dense Calcium Citrate formula
that supplies your body with 100% ofthe daily-recommended dietary intake
(RDI) of calcium. Blended with a hint of vanilla flavor, the daily
serving of Forever Calcium contains 1000 mg of calcium combined with
vitamin D and magnesium - two elements that are essential for maximizing
calcium absorption. Two Forever Calcium tablets with breakfast, and two
with dinner is an easy, effective way to ensure youre getting the
calcium you need for the promotion of good bone health.
