February 2008 - Vol 3 Issue 2
A Note From the Nutritionist
Getting Serious About Health
Last month we took a break from serious health topics to share some Fun Tips and ways to Spice up Your Diet. This month we are getting down to business with a hard look at two of the hottest issues in women’s health – heart disease and menopause. Since February is American Heart Month, there is no better time to explore the signs and symptoms of heart disease in “Listen to Your Heart.” In addition, if you are one of the estimated 45 million Americans experiencing menopause, you probably have questions. We’ll help you sort out the pros and cons with “The Maddening State of Menopause.”
Don’t forget to enter our contest of the month for your chance to win FREE Adora Calcium. Also, read on for an important Adora Calcium update along with a special coupon offer just for readers like you. - Michelle Gibeault Traub, R.D.
Listen to Your Heart
What every woman should know about heart disease
More women die from heart disease than any other cause. Why? One reason heart disease is so deadly is that many women simply don't know the signs of an ailing heart. Listen to your heart; it just might save your life. Learn More about Heart Health Here.
The Maddening State of Menopause
A review of hormone replacement therapy
There is a great deal of confusion and disagreement regarding the treatment options for menopause. In fact "bio-identical hormone" treatments which were previously praised by many are now being questioned by the FDA. It's enough to drive any menopausal woman mad. Get more information on Menopause Treatment Options Here.
ADORA QUESTION OF THE MONTH
What kind of calcium, and how much, does Adora Calcium contain?
Choosing the right blend of calcium for Adora Calcium was a challenge. We had to consider many factors including taste, portion-size, calories, and of course, overall amount of calcium. Since the body can absorb 500 mg of calcium at one time, we decided that was the ideal amount for each disk. After careful consideration, we determined calcium carbonate was the best source of the mineral since that compound contains the highest percentage of elemental calcium (40%). This means we can get more actual calcium into each disk than if we were to use calcium citrate which only contains 20% calcium. Most importantly, the calcium carbonate we use is highly-purified, meets USP standards, and is tested to ensure it is free of heavy metals.
