Why has USANA added vitamin K to the new Active Calcium Formula?
Osteoporosis is a very costly and debilitating disease that is not considered part of the normal aging process. It is considered to be a major public health threat for almost 44 million U.S. women and men aged 50 and older. Prevention is essential to maintain optimal peak bone mass and reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures later in life. Recent research has shown that, in addition to the other important bone building nutrients, vitamin K plays an important role in bone metabolism and mineralization. Low dietary intakes of vitamin K and low blood concentrations of circulating vitamin K have been associated with low bone mineral density and an increased risk of hip fractures in postmenopausal women. The addition of vitamin K to the new Active Calcium formula represents USANA’s commitment in providing you with the very best supplement for bone health available on the market today.
