Herbalife Xtra-Cal®

Your body does not produce calcium. Dairy products and green leafy vegetables are good sources of calcium. Calcium is an essential mineral the body needs for strong bones and teeth. It is also the most abundant mineral in the body. Calcium encourages a strong heartbeat, keeps blood pumping efficiently and maintains nerves and muscles. It pretty much helps keep your whole body working the way it should. Your body's entire skeletal system and your teeth are composed of calcium. Calcium is used in the treatment of osteoporosis, high blood pressure and a supplement during pregnancy. Calcium citrate seems to be the form easiest for the body to absorb.

There is a wide variety of calcium supplements available on the market. Be aware however, that some calcium supplements may contain substantial amounts of lead. Lead is a toxic metal that affects the kidneys, brain and red blood cells.

Osteoporosis means porous bones. It affects more than 20 million women in the United States. Normally, both sexes experience a decline in bone mass after age of 40. Women however are at greater risk of getting osteoporosis than men. Postmenopausal osteoporosis seems to be the most common case in women. Roughly one in four post-menopausal women get osteoporosis. If your body isn't getting adequate calcium through diet, it will take what it needs from your bones to make up for it. Over time, this process can lead to osteoporosis, a crippling disease.

As we age, our body stops producing bone and may begin to lose it. To maintain your peak bone density, it is important to get plenty of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. It's never too late to start increasing your calcium intake. For those in their 40s and 50s, increased calcium levels can help to maintain the bone you have. Herbalife Xtra-Cal® offers one of the most concentrated forms of calcium in an easy to take form. It also is combined with other vitamins and nutrients, including magnesium and vitamin D that can promote healthy bones and skeletal health.
