Did you know that today, October 20th is World Osteoporosis Day? In support of spreading the news about this important issue – especially for women – I am happy to tell you about a new calcium supplement that Adora has recently released. The supplement comes in Premium All Natural Milk & Dark Chocolate and the secret Adora® formula was developed by Thompson Brands, a chocolatier with a rich, celebrated heritage since 1879. I had a chance to taste test the calcium supplements and they are tasty! I usually eat a piece of dark chocolate every day as it is rich in antioxidants – so the addition of a calcium supplement is just a bonus in my book!

The Importance of Calcium:

While studying nutrition in my masters program, I remember reading how important calcium is for the body and what happens if we don’t have adequate levels in the blood. Calcium is needed for our heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly and for blood to clot. Inadequate calcium significantly contributes to the
development of osteoporosis. Many published studies show that low calcium intake throughout life is associated with low bone mass and high fracture rates.
National nutrition surveys have shown that most people are not getting the calcium they need to grow and maintain healthy bones. (Source: niams.nih.gov).
