Active Calcium Chewable

Active Calcium Chewable helps ensure that teens and adults are getting enough calcium in their diet. In a clinical study, Active Calcium Chewable promoted significant gains in bone density among adolescent girls.* What other product can claim that? And this convenient chewable is not just your average calcium supplement. Many adults use it as an effective antacid that provides your body with calcium, rather than depleting it like other antacids.

 Supplement Spotlight: Calcium Chewable Stops the Burn

Panang curry, spicy stir-fry, hot & sour soup — you’ve gotta love fiery foods! A lot of the spice-o-philes around USANA have discovered a tiny Thai restaurant where the food is amazing and seriously mouth-destroying (if you ask for it).
Unfortunately, some poor souls have slightly more “sensitive” stomachs than others, making a hot plate of wonderfullness a cause for concern over the possibility of an unpleasant bit of heartburn down the line.
Fortunately, we can reach for Active Calcium™ Chewable — an excellent solution for occasional heartburn.*
Even if you don’t love scorching your taste buds, foods such as citrus fruit, raw onions, or even ice cream can trigger an occasional bout of heartburn. Regularly squelching that heartburn with high doses of stomach-acid blocking proton pump inhibitors (PPI) can weaken your bones, leading to an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist and/or spine, according to warning issued by the FDA last year. The FDA also notes that PPIs are overprescribed, ranking as the third-highest selling class of drugs in the United States. That’s a lot of people out there damaging their bones!**

Over-the-counter antacids aren’t nearly as scary. But choosing Active Calcium Chewable is still the better-for-you choice. Not only do two tablets give you the same amount of calcium as Tums® Regular Strength to help calm the acid, it also supplies a balanced amount of magnesium and vitamin D to help keep your bones strong.
Vitamin D is all over the news recently, so you know how important it is. The added vitamin D is especially significant in the case of a product used for heartburn, because taking certain antacids for long periods of time may decrease the levels, metabolism, and availability of vitamin D in the body. Why not boost the vitamin D in your body instead of depleting it? Totally a no-brainer!


Personally, I think our chewables taste better than most of those little chalky fruit-flavored tablets, too.

So go ahead and eat adventurously then quell the consequences of that fiery meal, leaving only your spicy personality. For occasional heartburn, cool the burn and do something good for your body at the same time with USANA’s Active Calcium Chewable.
