Q: Are you getting enough calcium from your diet???

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.
