Calcium Citrate 1000 mg. - 240 Capsules Solaray

Why a Supplement?
The best dietary sources of Calcium include things like milk, yogurt, cheese, salmon, and sardines, while nondairy sources include cabbage, kale, broccoli, and fortified grains. But the dairy/animal sources are far more easily absorbed by your body, while you end up getting very small amounts from other sources. With this in mind, people for whom Calcium supplementation becomes more important include vegetarians and vegans; people who eat a high-protein or high-sodium diet, which can cause your body to excrete more Calcium; those who have health conditions like Crohn’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease, which limit your body’s ability to absorb Calcium; elderly people, and people with osteoporosis.

Bounteous Bone Benefits … and More!
Maintaining bone and dental health are considered the most important benefits of adequate Calcium intake. You need Calcium from birth through old age, for bone development, growth, and bone changes in later years, when your bones get more porous and weaker. Calcium is known to strengthen your backbone and keeps your bones in optimal shape. Studies indicate that Calcium also is important to helping prevent or slow progression of arthritis and osteoporosis. What’s more, adequate Calcium has been shown to aid in balancing your blood pressure, help prevent premenstrual depression, and help protect your cardiac muscles. So, Solaray Calcium Citrate may help you achieve more than healthy bones and teeth, along your journey to optimal health!

Creating a Balance for Weight Management
Calcium is less known for its abilities to help you maintain a healthy weight, but research supports this finding. You see, if you have any mineral deficiencies in your body, your body can release the parathyroid hormone, which stimulates your bones to release it into your bloodstream to maintain a proper balance. On the flip side, this hormone also stimulates production of fat and slows or prevents its breakdown, which has been shown to be a factor in obesity. The key is in the balance, and Solaray Calcium Citrate may help you achieve it!
