A Calcium Story - How to Support Bone and Heart Health

About two out of three Ameri­cans do not meet the Recommend­ed Daily Allowance for calcium, which partly explains why osteo­porosis or osteopenia (inadequate bone density) affects the majority of post-menopausal women and is increasingly common in men. For that reason, next to multivitamins, calcium pills are the most commonly consumed daily, over-the-counter supplement.

Unfortunately, traditional calcium supplements might increase risk of heart issues by accelerating calcified plaque build-up in your arteries. In this webinar, Registered Dietitian Joan O'Keefe will tell you how calcium deficiency profoundly affected her mother's life, and teach you how to optimize bone strength, while at the same time promoting heart health through proper calcium consumption.
