April : Bone Health
For April, Dr. Luke explains the role Calcium, Vitamin D, Magnesium and other supplements play in supporting the health of your bones.
Regular exercise and healthy diet with enough calcium helps teen and young adult women, who are at risk of osteoporosis later in life, maintain good bone health and may reduce their risk of osteoporosis (white and Asian women are particularly at risk for osteoporosis). Adequate Calcium intake is important, but daily intakes above 2,000 mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit.
Featured products are Super Calcium 1200 with Vitamin D, Calcium-Magnesium with Vitamin D and Super Calcium-Magnesium.
