Bone Strengthening
Optimizing peak bone mass during adolescence and early adulthood contributes to bone strengthening and has been shown to build and maintain good bone health.† Adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthy diet - along with physical activity - may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life.†
Circulatory System
Calcium supports our circulatory system as it helps blood vessels tighten and relax when they need to.† This allows blood to travel easily through veins allowing your body to keep your blood warm and deliver oxygen to your muscles and organs.†
Muscular System
Muscle contraction is known to be regulated by calcium.† When your muscle moves, a motor neuron is queued on the muscle cell surface, activating calcium channels in the muscular system, and allowing calcium to flow into the muscle cell.†
Nervous System
Calcium is a crucial element to how the cells in your brain, and other parts of your nervous system, communicate.† High calcium concentrations let neurons know that it’s time to release the chemical message neurons used to communicate with each other.†
Pregnancy Health
The daily recommended serving of calcium for pregnant women is 1000mg per day.† A baby's bone health peaks during the third trimester and 250mg to 350mg of calcium is transferred from mother to baby daily.† If you do not consume enough calcium in your diet during pregnancy, your body will take what your baby needs from your own calcium needs.†
PMS Symptoms
Research has supported that women who have diets rich in vitamin D and calcium can reduce or even eliminate PMS symptoms.†
Gastric Bypass
Research shows that calcium deficiency develops in approximately half of patients that have undergone gastric bypass surgery.† Lifelong adherence to dietary calcium and vitamin D is very important to maintain calcium levels post gastric bypass surgery.†
