I am concerned about osteoporosis as my mother was diagnosed with it in her 50’s. I have some dairy in my diet, but I know I should probably have more. What should I look for when choosing a Calcium supplement?
Calcium is a mineral that is crucial for the development of strong, healthy bones and around 1000mg of Calcium is required on a daily basis to help protect our bones from developing Osteoporosis.
Choose a Calcium supplement that provides a form of Calcium that is well-absorbed such as Calcium citrate, which has 20-66% greater absorption and bioavailability than Calcium carbonate, a commonly prescribed form of Calcium.
Hydroxyapatite is another good source of nutrition for healthy bones. It is a complete bone food that supplies Calcium together with other beneficial trace minerals including Magnesium and Phosphate.A good Calcium supplement should also supply a broad-range of nutritional cofactors such as Vitamin D3, Magnesium, Manganese, Boron and Zinc, which are required for optimal utilization of Calcium and assist its retention in the bones.
