Calcium is an essential mineral with a wide range of biological roles. Apart from being a major constituent of bones and teeth, calcium is crucial for muscle contraction, nerve conduction, the beating of the heart, blood coagulation, glandular secretion, the production of energy and the maintenance of immune function. Clinical research continues to expand the scientific evidence of the key role that calcium plays in optimum vitality and health.
Inadequate calcium intake results in reduced bone mass and osteoporosis. Research shows that 99% of the body's calcium is found in bone and teeth, and calcium makes up from 1% to 2% of adult body weight. Reduced intake and absorption of calcium is directly linked to many major health maladies, the most common being softening of the bones and the resulting debilitating breaks and fractures.
Adequate intake of calcium is now recommended at 1,200 mg daily, especially in children. People with special needs and older adults over 50 may require more calcium on a daily basis. Absorption efficiency of calcium decreases with age, especially in postmenopausal women. Nature's Plus Liquid Calcium is so delicious, you can enjoy it straight from the bottle or mixed with a favourite beverage.

Q. What is low bone density? top
A. Bones are living tissues, consisting of a hard outer shell with a spongy inner core, that constantly replenish themselves. Every day new bone cells (osteoblasts) are created to replace old bone cells (osteoclasts). When new bone formation naturally slows with age, bones lose density. As a result, the bones become fragile, and the risk of fracture increases substantially.
Q. What steps can be taken to protect bone health? top
A. Eat a well-balanced diet rich in whole grains, vegetables and fresh fruits
Exercise daily; preferably weight-bearing activity such as walking
Take Ostivone daily to help maximise bone health
Take vitamin and mineral supplements including calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, C, A, B6 and folic acid
Limit intake of sugar, caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and salt
