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. Teens, 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%
of the 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
you're getting the calcium you need for the promotion
of good bone health.
