Is Your Calcium Supplement Doing Its Job?

As we age, osteoporosis (loss of bone density) can become a serious health risk. Calcium helps prevent osteoporosis while also helping to strengthen bones and teeth. Unfortunately, not all types of calcium support bone health. For example, calcium carbonate is made from limestone and is a key ingredient in chalk. This type of calcium is hard for your body to digest and can lead to decreased stomach acid and nutrient absorption.

Good Bone Health Takes More Than Just Calcium

Vitamin D and magnesium improve the absorption and transport of calcium in your body. Vitamin K2 (which is different from vitamin K) supports the delivery of calcium from the bloodstream to the bones.

If calcium isn't delivered to the bones properly, it can accumulate in the arteries and cause arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
