Osteoporosis affects menopausal women, middle-aged and older persons. Preventing osteoporosis should start earlier in your life. Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps build and maintain good bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Adequate calcium intake is important, but daily intakes above about 2,000 mg are not likely to provide additional benefits. Why Vitamins D and K? Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption and Vitamin K aids in its utilization. From Day 1 to Year 100, Support Bone Health for a Lifetime Over the Course of our lifetime, our bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. That's why calcium is critical for building strong, healthy bones in people of all ages. Banking in Childhood While girls and young women are still growing, their bones are growing too. It's during these bone-forming years that their bodies are most capable of absorbing calcium. But the fact is, most children and adolescents aren't getting the calcium they need to build peak bone mass that could help prevent osteoporosis later in life. Maintaining in Adulthood Once a woman's bones have stopped growing, sufficient dietary calcium remains important for maintaining bone strength and bone health throughout life. If you're pregnant or lactating, you need to make sure you are getting enough calcium in your diet or with a calcium supplement. You may be taking a prenatal multi-vitamin/mineral that has been prescribed by your doctor. Most prenatal supplements contain a small amount of calcium. If you are trying to become pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, you should discuss your vitamin and mineral requirements with your physician. Slowing Age-Related Bone Loss in Menopause During this time, a woman's ovaries stop producing estrogen, which is critical to calcium balance. Bone mass is now being broken down faster than it is being rebuilt. Getting enough dietary calcium and vitamin D along with weight-bearing exercises are important steps toward maintaining bone strength and bone health throughout life. The Role of Vitamin D and Supporting Hearth Health Many cells in the body need vitamin D to function properly - including cells in blood vessels and arteries. Vitamin D has been shown to help keep blood vessels and arteries flexible and stretchy, which helps maintain normal blood pressure. Adequate levels of vitamin D can also help protect against the build up of plaque that clogs artery walls. In addition, vitamin D works in the kidney to help keep blood pressure in check. Get the Daily "D" You Need Vitamin D: For Strong and Healthy Bones The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends getting adequate calcium and vitamin D on a daily basis as a key step in developing and maintaining healthy bones. Recently, higher levels of vitamin D have been shown to have an important impact on bone health. Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3 Vitamin D is available in two forms: D2 and D3. VIACTIV™ Calcium Soft Chews contain vitamin D3. Both forms raise vitamin D levels in the blood, however some research indicates that vitamin D3 may be more effective in raising and maintaining vitamin D levels long term. VIACTIV™ Calcium Soft Chews can help you meet your daily vitamin D requirements. With experts now recommending up to 1000 IU of vitamin D per day, each VIACTIV™ Calcium Soft Chew contains 500 IU of the Daily Value of vitamin D in every chew.
