When it doesn’t hurt it’s easy to ignore. But, just because your bones don’t hurt doesn’t mean they don’t need your attention. By the time your doctor tells you that you have osteoporosis, or you break your hip… the ‘prevention’ part is too late. The time to protect your bones starts in your 20’s. It’s something to tackle daily unless you want to grow old with a hunched back and hip surgery!

The easiest and most effective way to protect your bones…and we are talking to both men and women … is to make sure you are getting a daily dose of enough calcium. Remember, if your body does not have enough calcium to conduct its daily business, then it will STEAL it from your bones. Unfortunately, there are few of us who get enough calcium from the food we eat. Just consuming enough milk, cheese, or yogurt every day is not reality.

That leaves a simple, inexpensive (pennies per day), and CALORIE FREE solution: Take Calcium supplements. This is a ‘no brainer’.

What is, however, more important than you may imagine, is how you select a calcium supplement. For example, if you choose a supplement with only calcium and no vitamin D, you’re wasting your money and your efforts. Calcium without vitamin D is not absorbed. No magnesium in your calcium supplement? Not a good idea. The relationship between magnesium and calcium is one of the most actively researched, and we know that magnesium is required in order for calcium to maintain a balanced role in the body’s metabolism. It is also important to consider the type of calcium you’re going to take: the citrate or carbonate? The debate is strong for both, for different reasons.

The good news is that OneLifeUSA has THE calcium supplement: Calcium Plus. Well named because it is Calcium plus vitamin D, plus magnesium. Additionally, it is the ONLY complete calcium product that contains BOTH calcium citrate and calcium carbonate. This eliminates the need to purchase two different supplements in order to get both types of calcium (much easier on the wallet).
