Throughout life, bones are in a constant state of reformation as calcium is continually removed from and re-deposited in the bones. Adequate levels of calcium are needed every day to ensure that bone mineral density is maintained. If people do not get enough calcium from their diets, the body will take it from bone structure, which results in a net loss of bone calcium.
WHY ACTIVE CALCIUM?
USANA's Active Calcium is enhanced with boron and Vit K. Boron reduces calcium excretion and increases deposition of calcium in the bone. Vitamin K influences the level of osteocalcin in the bone-forming cells and thus the rate of mineralization of bone.
Magnesium and Vitamin
Magnesium is an essential mineral that accounts for about 0.05 percent of the body's total weight. Along with calcium, it is an important component of strong, healthy bones.
CALCIUM AND YOUR HEALTH
Deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, boron, and vitamin D can contribute to the development of osteoporosis, thinning of the bones that makes them prone to fracture. Although signs of osteoporosis usually don’t occur until the later years of life, getting the proper amount of calcium in our diet when we’re young helps build strong bones and reduces the risk of osteoporosis in the future, as long as dietary intake continues to be adequate. Adolescents who make even a five percent gain in bone mass in their teens may reduce
the risk of osteoporosis by 40 percent.
In addition to maintaining healthy bones, calcium is critical to normal nerve conduction, muscle contraction, blood clotting (provided it is normal to begin with), cell division, and electrical conduction in the heart.
It is also essential for producing and activating enzymes and hormones that regulate digestion, energy, and fat
metabolism.
Who should take
- Women, throughout their adult lives
- People whose diets are deficient in calcium and other bone-building nutrients
- People whose diets are deficient in calcium and other bone-building nutrients
- People whose bone or muscle health is a priority
