Prevent Osteoporosis


Approximately 5% of the body is composed of minerals. Among them is vital calcium, located primarily in bone and teeth, and the remainder used for nerve conduction, allowing the muscles receive the signal to contract and relax.

Finally, it helps the blood to clot. When the body does not get enough of this mineral for a balanced diet, you need a supplement for extra balance. This equilibrium is jeopardized by certain factors that affect its absorption and retention. These are:

• Excess alcohol alters the absorption of calcium.

• Regular consumption of large doses of aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs reduce the levels of calcium

• Oral contraceptives tend to deplete the body reserves of calcium among other minerals.

• Smoking increases the needs for calcium and vitamin C.

Again demonstrates that the health and movement go hand in hand, in this case to keep bones strong and to secure a solid foundation for any life plan.
