The Importance of Calcium

Women can lose up to 20% of their bone mass in the 5-7 years following menopause, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a depletion of bone mass, often called the 'silent disease' because it occurs without symptoms and is often not noticed until the bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump or fall causes a bone to break.

The depletion of bone mass occurs as a result of insufficient calcium intake. Medical experts agree that osteoporosis is preventable. To maintain healthy bones it is important to get regular exercise, to avoid smoking and alcohol and to get the recommended daily intake of calcium and vitamin D.

It is recommended that women maintain a calcium intake of 1000 mg to 1300 mg daily, increasing to 1500 mg after menopause .Diet alone can not always provide the recommended daily allowance and a supplement like Nature's Sunshine's Skeletal Strength should be used to increase and maintain calcium intake.
