Calcium Supplements

Milk contains nine essential nutrients, making it one of the most nutrient-rich drinks you can enjoy. Just one eight-ounce glass of milk puts you well on your way to meeting your daily value for calcium and other key nutrients.

Milk is also an important source of vitamin D. Researchers are now discovering that vitamin D is an important player in metabolism, (this is where it helps you to lose weight) as well as bone development. Calcium helps keep your joints flexible. Plus, milk is fortified with vitamin D, another nutrient important for healthy bones. Other excellent non-dairy sources of calcium are fortified orange or grapefruit juice, and fortified ready-to-eat cereal (check the label and find the calcium fortified varieties and how much it contains).

Of course we all know that it is better to get our nutrients form our foods. . .

But for those who do not like milk, are lactose intolerent, or just do not feel they are getting enought calcium from your diet there are calcium supplements. These supplements come in pill powder or liquid forms.

You should also reduce your caffeine intake because caffeine can deplete your bodys store of calcium.
