Everyone should be taking the Active Calcium in addition to the Essentials for optimum health.
Benefits:
Maintenance of good bone health
Recommended dosage:
4 per day for 18 years and over, 13- 18 years 6 per day as teenagers have higher calcium needs.
Most forms of calcium on the market are not in the right form for the human body. The calcium does not go into the bones but into soft tissue and causes calcification and other problems.
Single product supplementation does not work – we need to be taking a blend of other vitamins and minerals with calcium. That is why USANA's Active Calcium is calcium citrate blended with magnesium and vitamin D. It is also very important we are taking the Essentials with our Active Calcium to ensure full absorption.
The body can only absorb 500mg of Calcium at one time – any more will go into the wrong places. So take only 2 Active Calcium at one time.
