Have you heard of Viactive? I was recently asked to try out this new to me product and join in the Yours & Hers: Build Strong Bones Together campaign.
As moms of daughters we begin thinking about their health the day they arrive into our arms with an increase in worry when they hit those teen years and their bodies beginning changing for little girls into young women. Being a mom of two young women ( daughters) my goal has been to teach them the benefits of a healthy diet, weight bearing exercise and calcium supplementation for bones. benefits of diet, weight bearing exercise and calcium supplementation for bones. With personal experience of still enjoying having my 94 year old grandmother living, who always took care of herself when it came to diet, exercise and taking supplements, I see the benefits of it.
Did you know that Almost 70% of women, on average, are calcium deficient. However, that number jumps significantly for teen girls: 86% of teen girls do not get enough calcium in their daily diets. This is critical because 95% of bone building happens by age 20.
If your like me those statistics got you wondering how much calcium is recommended daily for you and your daughters. I discovered an easy
to use chart that is age based on the Viactiv website. WOW! I need more calcium as do my daughters. What about you?
Calcium isn’t manufactured in the body, so it must be introduced by outside sources (diet, supplements). Females are born with lower bone density than men which creates a higher need for daily calcium intake; however, most women receive only half of their RDA calcium in their daily diets. So what are we going to do about it?
Allow me to introduce you to Viactiv Soft Chews, the #1 doctor-recommended calcium supplement chew which are individually wrapped and available in delicious milk chocolate and caramel flavors; www.viactiv.com
Two Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews taken daily provides 100% of the daily value of calcium for most women plus vitamins D3 & K.

They allow you to begin taking the right steps to up your daily calcium intake with daily diet and Viactiv, not only you but you can encourage your daughters, mother, sister, and best friend to do the same – build strong bones together now and for the future.
