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.
