Preventing bone loss.

A serving of 8th Continent Soymilk contains as much calcium as a serving of dairy milk. Adequate calcium intake helps prevent bone loss.

Osteoporosis is a painful disease resulting in the reduction of the density of bone. In fact, bones can become so porous and weak that they’re more likely to break.

In women, osteoporosis is a result of inadequate calcium intake along with the reduction in estrogen levels that occurs during natural and surgical menopause or during the cessation of menses due to extreme weight loss or extreme exercise programs.

In addition, weight-bearing exercise, body build, genetics and other factors affect the risk of developing osteoporosis. Aging men are also at risk for osteoporosis although bone fractures typically occur at an older age than in women.

8th Continent soymilks are an excellent source of calcium and Vitamin D. These two essential nutrients help maintain bone health. In fact, vitamin D, along with calcium and physical activity, can help prevent bone fractures later in life.
