Calcium Can Be Critical Before Menopause
 (HealthDayNews, 6/28/03)

The June issue of the Mayo Clinic Women's Health Source reports that, while post-menopausal women are more aware that their bones and muscles need calcium, younger women are also at risk for calcium deficiency. A healthy diet that includes a variety of foods, including green vegetables, may provide sufficient calcium, but supplements may also be necessary. A healthcare professional can recommend the proper type, dosage, timing and synergistic complements (Vitamin D etc.) for calcium supplementation.
