Throughout your lifetime, your calcium needs fluctuate, but are always necessary to promote strong, healthy bones, teeth and overall functioning. As a child, you need calcium for growing bones. Pregnant women require additional calcium to protect their bones from being degraded to provide a growing infant with calcium. Postmenopausal women and men over 65 have additional needs for calcium. Our bodies cannot produce calcium and not all calcium consumed by the foods we eat are absorbed into our systems. Studies have shown that calcium deficiency is associated with low bone mass and the increased risk of fracture. That's why you need Atracal, the perfect combination of calcium, vitamin D and other bone defense nutrition to prevent bone fracture, breakage, osteoporosis and skeletal malformation. Vitamin D is essential in assuring the calcium your body receives is absorbed. Even those currently suffering from osteoporosis can decrease bone loss and fracture risk by increasing their daily calcium intake. Count on Atracal to keep you standing strong.
