Other Label Statements

General Statements: All Other Content

Regular exercise and a healthful diet with adequate calcium are essential in achieving peak bone mass in teenagers and young adults and maintaining bone health during adulthood. Individuals who do not store enough calcium throughout their lives have an increased risk for developing osteoporosis. While adequate calcium intake is important, daily intakes above 2000 mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit.
