Calcium and Vitamin D

Calcium and vitamin D are a closely linked mineral and vitamin because of their united importance in optimum bone health. The average woman develops most of her skeletal bone mass by the age of 20, and experiences a marked decline by menopause. An adequate calcium intake is crucial for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis in women of all ages. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in your digestive tract. Green leafy vegetables, dairy products and fortified cereals, breads and orange juice are all sources of calcium.
