Strong Bones For Life

Adequate calcium intake plays a vital role in all stages of a female's life (click on the highlighted links for information on the calcium needs of that age group):

Childhood: before we are even born our skeleton starts to form and calcium is rapidly deposited into our growing bones.

The Teen Years: the first effects of womanhood arrive, bringing with them the onset of the menstrual cycle, PMS and the greatest calcium requirements.

Twenties: bone mass continues to strengthen, but at a slower pace during these child-bearing years.

Thirties: bone density peaks and begins a slow decline, pregnancy can put bones at risk.

Forties: the decline of bone strength continues and perimenopause begins.

Fifty+: as the challenges of menopause set in, bone loss begins to accelerate possibly resulting in osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Seventies+: as bone loss continues to increase into the golden years the risk of bone fractures increases.

Adora Calcium is a great way for women and girls of all ages to meet their calcium and vitamin D requirements.
