Are you getting enough calcium from your diet??? Posted: 05-20-08 17:47pm
It is rare for us to be getting an adaquet
amount of calcium in our diets especially
as we age, the calcium does not absorb
aswell. When we are not getting enough
calcium for our bodies it must take
calcium from our bones to supply other
bodily functions. So unfortunately a
calcium supplement is commonly needed to
help supply the body and help strengthen
bones.
Best of health.

A calcium supplement is needed, but
remember to take a 2:1 of cal & mag as
well as added vitamin D. These are needed
to absorb and bind the calcium to the
bones.
Also low estrogen will decrease calcium
absorption, so beware of osteo in
menopausal years.
