Usana Health Sciences manufactures high quality nutritional and dietary supplements. Its calcium supplement is marketed under the name of Usana Active Calcium which promotes healthy bones and acts as an effective antidote for bone related problems like osteoporosis.

Our bones are essentially composed of calcium. There is a continuous process which is going on that removes and re-deposits calcium in the bones. They only appear to be solid but are continuously changing. The body's prominent source of calcium is milk along with other dairy products like cheese and butter-milk. If one's diet fails to provide the necessary calcium, the body extracts it from the bones, effectively making them less dense and porous.

One of the common bone disorders that develop in later life is osteoporosis, which is nothing but a decreased bone mineral density that makes the individual prone to fractures. It is also a common ailment of many women after menopause. More than 44 million Americans over the age of 50 are suffering from osteoporosis. However, the risk can be reduced drastically by adequate calcium supplementation in the early years.

Although 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the teeth and bones, calcium plays a vital role in many processes such as nerve transmissions, muscle contraction, cell division and blood clotting. It also activates enzymes and hormones for effective digestion and energy metabolism.

Usana Active Calcium is not just a simple calcium supplement but is a clinically-proven bone building formula. Apart from calcium, it contains magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, boron and silicon which are essential for bone mineralization and metabolism. Vitamin D and silicon are especially important since they enhance calcium absorption and utilization in bone formation. Boron reduces the excretion of calcium and promotes its deposition on the bones while Vitamin K contributes to increasing bone density.

Usana Active Calcium adheres to the stringent USP norms for potency, purity and uniformity and all its ingredients are in forms that are easily absorbed by the body. 4 tablets per day are recommended for adults while 1-2 tablets are sufficient for children between 7 and 12. Most children in today's world prefer soft drinks and sodas over milk and other dairy products. So BodyRox Active Calcium Chewable offers a tastier alternative to such children.

It has been clinically proven that supplementing one's daily diet with Usana Active Calcium effectively prevents osteoporosis and promotes long-term bone health and for an active and healthy life at all ages.
