Advanced Levels of Vitamin D to Help Optimize Calcium Absorption #1 Selling brand of Calcium Supplements Dr. Recommended Brand 600+ D Product Information Vitamin D is essential. Without adequate vitamin D, your body can’t absorb enough calcium, which is critical for building and maintaining strong bones. Yet more than two-thirds of all Americans do not get enough vitamin D from their diet. Many experts agree that adults should be getting at least 750 to 800 IU per day. Trust Caltrate, the expert in Calcium, to help replenish the Calcium and help provide the Vitamin D your body uses every day. Adequate Calcium and Vitamin D throughout life, as part of a healthy diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. If you're not getting enough Calcium, your body will take it from your bones. Did you know? Your body uses Clacium for many normal processes such as muscle contraction. In a major clinical study, two Caltrate tablets a day helped maintain a healthy colon. Emerging science suggest Vitamin D helps support breast health. Caltrate Frequently Asked Questions Why should calcium be taken in conjunction with vitamin D? Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Vitamin D is either derived from the diet or produced by our exposure to sunshine, which can vary throughout the year. So in addition to getting enough calcium in your diet through food or supplements, you must be sure to get enough vitamin D as well, to help calcium absorption. What is calcium? Calcium is an element that occurs naturally. It is present in foods such as milk, cheese and other dairy products, in broccoli, kale and other dark green vegetables, and in salmon and sardines with bones. What is calcium carbonate, and what are its advantages? Calcium carbonate is nature's most concentrated form of calcium, and what Caltrate is made of. It's about 40% elemental calcium by weight so you need to take just two Caltrate tablets per day to get the amount of calcium recommended by the Institute of Medicine for adults 51 years and older. With less concentrated forms of calcium such as citrate, you'd need to take more tablets to get the same amount of calcium. Why is calcium important? Calcium is an essential nutrient that helps build and maintain healthy teeth and bones. Most notably, as part of a healthful diet, adequate calcium throughout life may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a disease that's characterized by a decrease in bone mass and an increase in bone fractures. Calcium also plays a role in muscle contraction, blood clotting and nerve function. A recent study suggests that calcium may help reduce the risk of recurrence of colon polyps, a risk factor for colon cancer. While promising, further research is warranted and ongoing. Calcium is important to people of all genders and ages. Men would benefit by taking calcium supplements; one in eight men over 50 years of age will sustain an osteoporosis-related fracture in his lifetime. Calcium is important for children. Adequate calcium throughout life, including during peak bone-mass-building years, as part of a healthful diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Recent scientific research has determined that even postmenopausal women can benefit from calcium intake as this can help slow the rate of bone loss. What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis, often called "brittle bone disease," is a condition in which bones become fragile and are more likely to break. When you don't get enough calcium to support bodily functions such as muscle contraction and blood clotting, your body takes what it needs from your bones. Over time, this can lead to pitted, porous and brittle bones
