Calcium is good for your skeletal system in making your bones resistant to fracture, giving them density, and keeping your bones from becoming brittle as you age. With women who enter their 30's on a lot of Calcium leaves their body due to aging which can cause osteoporosis (osteo - bone) (porosis - porous) When this occurs a woman (and sometimes men) must take Vitamin D as well in order to gain the proper amount of Calcium in their bones. Vitamin D is a vitamin which helps your body and bones absorb Calcium more efficiently and effectively. Many vitamin supplements by Centrum exist with Calcium AND Vitamin D to help aging women and men keep the proper amount of vitamins in their bodies. Make sure you discuss with your doctor all the options you have as a patient to determine if you are at risk for or already have osteoporosis. Bone Density Tests can be scheduled and further prescription treatment such as Boniva or other pharmaceutical grade non-over-the-counter drugs may be needed to help you protect your bones from fracture. Your body is important remember.
