T hroughout life, bones are in a constant state of
reformation as calcium is continually removed
from and re-deposited in the bones. Adequate levels
of calcium are needed every day to ensure that bone
mineral density is maintained. If people do not get
enough calcium from their diets, the body will take it
from bone structure, which results in a net loss of bone
calcium.
Active Calcium™ and Body Rox™ Active Calcium™
Chewable are more than calcium supplements. They
are carefully formulated, clinically proven bone-building
formulas.1 Both contain calcium citrate and carbonate,
magnesium, vitamin D, and silicon to optimize bone
mineralization and to ensure proper calcium use.2,3*
CALCIUm AND YOUR HeALtH
Deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, boron, and
vitamin D can contribute to the development of
osteoporosis, thinning of the bones that makes them
prone to fracture. Although signs of osteoporosis usually
don’t occur until the
