An Essential Mineral for Optimum Bone and Full-Body Health!

Calcium is one of the most important minerals for your body and your bones. This essential strength-building nutrient helps your body maintain proper blood vessel function… secrete hormones and enzymes… and send messages through your central nervous system.
Many people think that in order to drop a few pounds, they can simply drop many calcium-rich dairy products from their diet. Wrong! Not only will your weight loss efforts be more difficult, but you could put your heart and brain at increased risk.
So make sure you’re getting enough calcium with a balanced and nutritious diet. According to WHFoods.org, foods high in calcium include yogurt, goat’s milk, celery, broccoli, kelp, asparagus, garlic, tofu and oranges. Plus, spices such as garlic, rosemary, parsley and oregano can boost your intake of calcium.
But calcium alone can’t provide the highest protection for your bones. You need to balance your calcium intake with vitamin D, which is known as the “calcium helper” since it metabolizes the mineral for maximum health benefits. You can get vitamin D from safe sun exposure or from foods such as cod liver oil, salmon, tuna, eggs and beef liver.
So to help increase your bone mass and prevent the breakdown of bone tissue as you age, be sure to get ample amounts of calcium and vitamin D with a nutritious diet or quality supplements. These two vital nutrients are essential for a long and strong, healthy life!
Strengthen Your Bones—And Maintain Optimal Health—With ULTIMATE CALCIUM™!
Calcium is useless—unless it’s absorbable!
The metabolic bone center of the Tufts-New England Medical Center has stated more than 90 percent of American men and women older than 50 get TOO LITTLE CALCIUM from their diets.
In fact, if you’re a woman in your 50s—you’re probably getting LESS THAN HALF of the daily calcium you need!
That’s why health professionals recommend calcium supplementation. But there’s a HUGE problem with most calcium supplements: Your body can’t properly absorb them! If you can’t assimilate the calcium—you don’t get the health benefits.
That’s why you need ULTIMATE CALCIUM™—a unique formula that offers you…
…the RIGHT kind of calcium your body needs…
…in a natural form that’s easy to absorb…
…for a cost of less than 28 cents per day!
