In a recent Washington Post Science article<\/a>, the average person might come away thinking that Vitamin D and calcium were irrelevant to bone health.
\nCalcium is critical to bone health. This study is flawed and a perfect example of how testing single nutrients can misguide you to misunderstand nutrition.<\/p>\n

Here is the truth.<\/p>\n

Calcium absorption is dependent on:<\/p>\n

1. the quality of the calcium ingested. Most calciums are VERY POORLY absorbed
\n2. excess animal protein blocks calcium absorption
\n3. Vitamin C and D, Magnesium, and Hydrochloric Acid must be present for calcium to be optimally uses
\n4. Calcium Hydroxyapatite is the most efficiently utilized form of calcium<\/p>\n

The study from the link below does not take into account the essential variables that must be present for calcium and Vitamin D to play the critical role in strengthening bones for men and women.<\/p>\n

This is especially true for children, menopausal women, and anyone who has either broken a bone or need to make choices how to prevent osteoporosis.<\/p>\n

I designed a Love Your Body supplement called HEALTHY BONES<\/a> with the understanding that your body deserves only the best form of calcium to optimally support your physical needs.<\/p>\n

There is adequate research on calcium hydroxyapatite that would totally refute this poorly designed study in the Washington Post article<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
