Calcium (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite)

†Supports  bone mineral composition; reduces risk of osteoporosis

*Calcium microcrystalline hydroxyapatite is a calcium compound, which  contains minerals in their natural ratios, as well as residues of matrix,  proteins, and glycosaminoglycans.

Calcium microcrystalline hydroxyapatite supports bone mineral composition.

†Risk factors  for osteoporosis include sex, race, age and inadequate calcium intake.  Populations at highest risk for osteoporosis include  Caucasian, Asian, postmenopausal women, and elderly women and men.  Adequate calcium intake throughout life is linked to a reduced risk  of osteoporosis, as calcium helps to optimize peak bone mass during  adolescence and early adulthood in conjunction with exercise and healthy  diet. Calcium intake greater than 2,000 mg per day has no further known  benefit to bone health.
