Calcium is essential to maintain optimal health. Our body uses calcium every day not just to keep your bones and teeth strong during your lifetime, but to ensure proper functioning of nerves, heart, and muscles. It even helps your blood clot. Over 75% of Americans are deficient in calcium. If you are not getting enough calcium in your diet then your body is stealing it from your bones. Bone is not a hard and lifeless structure - rather, it is a complex, living tissue that completely regenerates about every eight years. Certain cells repair bone and draw calcium from the blood for deposit into bone tissue, while other cells break down old bone tissue. Because bones are constantly changing, they can heal and are profoundly affected by diet and exercise. Taking calcium regularly, every day combined with healthy diet and exercise, is key to preventing and treating calcium deficiency and to helping reduce the risk of osteoporosis, especially when taken by teens, young adults, and post menopausal women. Unicity is pleased to provide this new advanced nutritional supplement that supports optimal bone health and nutritional support.
