Bones play many roles in the body. They provide structure, protect organs, anchor muscles, and store calcium. Adequate calcium and vitamin D consumption and weight bearing physical activity build strong bones, optimizes bone mass, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. If you are taking Estroleve, you are getting part of the calcium and vitamin D you need to help prevent osteoporosis and bone loss.
Peak Bone Mass
Peak bone mass refers to the genetic potential for bone density. By the age
of 20, the average woman has acquired most of her skeletal mass. A large decline
in bone mass occurs in older adults, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. For
women this occurs around the time of menopause. It is extremely important to
get adequate levels of vitamin D and Calcium before, during, and after menopause.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis or "porous bone" is a disease of the skeletal system characterized
by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Osteoporosis leads to an
increase risk of bone fractures typically in the wrist, hip, and spine.
While men and women of all ages and ethnicities can develop osteoporosis, some of the risk factors for osteoporosis include those who are
- Female
- White/Caucasian
- Post menopausal women
- Older adults
- Small in body size
- Eating a diet low in calcium
- Physically inactive

Calcium
Calcium is
a mineral needed by the body for healthy bones,
teeth, and proper function of the heart, muscles,
and nerves. The body cannot produce calcium;
therefore, it must be absorbed through food.
Good sources of calcium include
- Dairy products—low fat or nonfat milk, cheese, and yogurt
- Dark green leafy vegetables—bok choy and broccoli
- Calcium fortified foods—orange juice, cereal, bread, soy beverages, and tofu products
- Nuts—almonds
Recommended amount of calcium vary for individuals. Below is a table of adequate intakes as outlined by the National Academy of Science.
Vitamin
D
Vitamin D
plays an important role in healthy bone development.
Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium
(this is why milk is fortified with vitamin
D). On top of many health problems, without
Vitamin D, much of the calcium would not be
absorbed.
On top of its abilities to relieve symptoms associated with menopause, Estroleve is a great source of calcium and vitamin D. Take Estroleve daily before, during, and after menopause to help maintain bone mass, bone strength, and help prevent osteoporosis!
