This B Vitamin guarantees the speedy replacement of blood
cells that wear out of every day, especially red blood cells
and skin cells. Folic Acid also prevents birth defects,

vitamin. It is needed to make hormones, proteins and
enzymes. This vitamin has also been studied because of it's
benefits in helping to prevent heart disease. The main job
of pyridoxine is shuffling around your amino acids to make
the 5,000 plus proteins your body needs to function. It is

Calcium- Calcium is the mineral in
bodies that make up bones and keep them strong. 99% of a
body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth. The
remaining 1% is in the blood and soft tissues and is
essential for life and health. Without this tiny 1% of
calcium, muscles would not contract correctly, blood would
not clot, and nerves would not carry messages. When the
intake of calcium is not sufficient, the body takes what it
needs from the bones. If this continues, the bones become
weak and break easily. This leads to the crippling bone
disease known as osteoporosis. Approximately 25 million
women have a degree of osteoporosis, and it will effect 1/3
to 1/2 of all post-menopausal women.
