At what age should you start taking calcium supplements?
December 8, 2021
MenaCal.7™ is a calcium supplement with bone-fortifying nutrients vitamin K2 and vitamin D3.
MenaCal.7™ contains the secret ingredient for optimal bone health – Vitamin K2 (MK-7). This formulation works synergistically to ensure an optimal intake of the 3 key ingredients for the development and maintenance of strong healthy bones and teeth.
Our bones have a hard outer shell and a spongy bone matrix inside that contains cells that both build-up healthy bone tissue and remove old, damaged bone tissue. This is known as a bone ‘remodelling’ process. It is vital that this balance between the build-up and removal of bone tissue is maintained for optimal bone health. More importantly, this balance should be maintained throughout a person’s life.
K Vitamins are essential to the utilisation of calcium in the body, and are therefore essential to the maintenance of optimal bone health.
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become porous
and more susceptible to fractures, especially of the spine, hip and
wrist. It is very common, affecting 1 in 3 women over the age of 50,
and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50.
Often we think that making sure we have enough Calcium in our diet means we need to drink litres and litres of milk. However, this isn’t the case. There are many great and nutritious foods that have calcium in them.
