Calcium + Bone Strengthening

Getting the recommended amount of calcium as a teen - 1,300 mg of calcium a day, - can make a big difference in building strong bones. Your bones absorb more calcium between the ages of 9 and 18 than during any other period in your life, which is then "deposited" in your bones. The more calcium you store during your teens, the greater your peak bone mass is an adult. Taking Viactiv Calcium + Bone Strengthening chews, along with a sensible, calcium-rich diet and regular exercise, is a tasty and easy way for teen girls to get the daily calcium they need for strong bones.†

When you're eating for two, you're eating to support your health, and your baby's development. To do both, you need to make sure you're getting enough nutrients, vitamins, and minerals from your diet — including calcium. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, your baby will actually draw it from your teeth and bones to build their own teeth and bones, as well as develop their circulatory, muscular, and nervous systems - the same systems you need calcium to support. Protect your bones by eating calcium-rich foods and taking a calcium supplement like Viactiv Calcium + Bone Strengthening.†

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.† Osteoporosis, which means "porous bone," is a disease in which bones have lost density, making them weaker and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress silently and painlessly until a bone breaks. Taking Viactiv Calcium + Bone Strengthening gives you the recommended calcium you need, along with vitamin D and vitamin K, helping to protect your bones as you age.
