Women on the go bone up on calcium

MANILA, Philippines - For women, maintaining good health means a balance of nutrients for her body to function effectively.  Calcium, in particular, is a nutrient that she would need to keep her bones strong, her organs functioning properly, and in turn, make her prolific in performing various tasks.

But while this important nutrient may be found in most foods such as leafy green vegetables, dairy products, tofu, as well as calcium-fortified breads, cereals, oatmeal, and juices, taking the recommended daily allowance of calcium from these sources is difficult to measure. Moreover, some calcium supplements that are available on the market today come in big tablets that are hard to swallow while calcium drinks are a hassle to prepare.

Pascual Consumer Healthcare Corp. (PCHC) acknowledges this gap in the market through CalChews, the first and only calcium supplement in a soft, chewy candy form that also contains both Vitamins D and K.

Many women might not be aware of it, but a good amount of calcium is depleted throughout the day, which cannot be naturally replenished by the body. When calcium levels in the blood drop below normal, the body involuntarily takes the calcium it needs from the bone — thus, reducing its calcium reserves.

With CalChews, this is no longer a concern because women are provided with their ideal daily calcium requirement.  This chewable calcium supplement is also fortified with Vitamin D3 that promotes proper calcium absorption, bone growth, and bone remodeling; and, Vitamin K that helps keep calcium in the bones where it truly belongs. Thus, aside from the calcium that effectively prevents osteoporosis, certain heart conditions and even Alzheimer’s disease, the Vitamin K in CalChews aids against calcium buildup in the arteries, which could prevent heart attacks.

Each piece of CalChews is individually wrapped, making it convenient to take — at home while doing chores, in the office during lunch break, when eating out with friends, or even at the gym while exercising. Truly the perfect supplement for busy women who are always on the go.
