Bone Support

Calcium 250 mg, 120 ct

Essential support for bones.

Calcium offers a treasure chest of health benefits. And Quantum’s chelated citrate form is the highest quality at the one of the lowest prices you’ll find.

Calcium is best known as providing life-long defense against osteoporosis. It is primarily stored in the bones and also helps muscles contract, blood clot, and nerves function. Diets deficient in calcium will cause the body to rob it from bones, causing them to weaken and escalating the chances of fractures.

A study published in the American Journal of Medicine, conducted by researchers at the University of Auckland, found that calcium citrate may lower cholesterol levels in women. The study followed 223 women for one year. The scientists said they believe calcium supplementation can lower the risk factors for cardio-vascular disease by 20-30%.

Calcium is also associated with:
· The formation of strong teeth and bones
· Healthy gums, cholesterol control
· Muscular growth and prevention of muscle cramps
· Healthy skin

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends the following daily calcium intakes:
· 1,000 mg for adult men and women;
· 1,200 mg for young people 11-24 years old and pregnant and lactating women
· 1,500 mg for post-menopausal women who are not on estrogen replacement therapy.

Calcium is important for pregnant women
A review of 14 scientific studies in the leading Physicians medical journal found that women who took about 1,500 mg of 2,000 mg of extra calcium every day while they were pregnant had a significantly lower risk of preeclampsia, a leading cause of premature birth which can possibly result in serious consequences for both mother and child.
