Xtra-cal

Xtra-cal is loaded with the most concentrated form of calcium available and can assist in the prevention of osteoperosis. It is possible that by the time you are 50, you may have lost as much as 25% of your bone mass due to Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. Studies suggest that the main culprits are high non-dairy protein diets, excessive coffee or lack of calcium. Protein is an acid forming substance, when there is an excess of acid, the body tries to neutralise it with alkaline agents (calcium and sodium) which then reduces the body’s alkaline reserves. To become less susceptible to Osteoporosis, cut down coffee intake to two cups per day, exercise for 30 minutes every other day and ensure adequate calcium intake daily (at least 800mg). It is also important to note that the body needs Vitamin D present to enable it to absorb calcium – without it only 20-30% of the calcium from our diet is absorbed.
