Our body needs calcium to build and maintain strong bones. And along with vitamin D,
they have benefits beyond bone health: perhaps protecting against cancer, diabetes
and high blood pressure.
Due to calcium deficiency, children may not reach their full potential adult height and
adults may have low bone mass which itself is a major risk factor for osteoporosis.
Our body doesn’t produce calcium so we must get it through our diet and other sources
such as supplements. And to absorb calcium, our body needs sufficient vitamin D.
Even if you eat a healthy, balanced diet, you may find it difficult to get enough calcium if
you:
- Follow a vegan diet
- Have lactose intolerance and limit dairy products
- Consume large amounts of protein or sodium which can cause your body to excrete
more calcium - Are receiving long-term treatment with corticosteroids
- Have certain bowel or digestive diseases that decrease your ability to absorb
calcium, such as inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease
In these situations, calcium supplements may help your body meet its daily requirement

Collagen supplementation is must especially when you start at right time when you start
losing your collagen and fat pad ultimately leading to skin sagging and aging.
As adjuvant to many topical therapeutic treatment collagen supplements act as age
reversal product and a must in daily regime.
Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H, is crucial for metabolism regulation and
function of the nervous system. It is also essential for healthy hair, skin, and nails.
And as taking collagen is associated with a number of health benefits, collagen
supplements may improve skin health by reducing wrinkles and dryness. They may also
help increase muscle mass, prevent bone loss, and relieve joint pain.
Biotin and Collagen supplements are generally safe, quite easy to use, and definitely
worth trying for their potential benefits.

Whether you are a student, employed, or a homemaker, finding the time and way to eat
healthy and keep yourself fit can be difficult. With responsibilities and deadlines piling
up, many sit in the same place for hours on end, resort to ordering in, and stock up on
unhealthy packaged foods at home. However, making small changes and choosing
healthier options is not as challenging as it may seem.
And as the major component of an Indian diet consists of cereal/pulse-based foods
which lead to less consumption of foods rich in vitamins such as vegetables, fruits and
dairy products, thus resulting in their deficiencies.
Moreover, no single food item or food group can satisfy the requirements of all the
micronutrients we need to lead a healthy life. Hence, including health supplements
along with the food that we consume, will help to satisfy our dietary requirements of
nutrients especially micronutrients.

Vitamins are organic substances present in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs that help your body grow, develop and work the way it should. There are 13 essential vitamins — vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, B6, B12, and folate). And having too little of any particular vitamin may increase the risk of developing certain health issues.
Different vitamins have different jobs to help keep the body working properly. They play important roles in major bodily functions such as metabolism, immunity and digestion.
It is usually better to get the nutrients you need from food rather than a pill. That’s because nutrientdense foods contain other things that are good for you, like fiber. However, if you do need to supplement your diet, look for a supplement that contains the vitamin or mineral you need without a lot of other unnecessary ingredients.
This is where the Boldfella’s DAILYVITS comes in which not only is enriched with multivitamins and essential minerals but also with other natural extracts that help to bridge the nutritional gap in your body.
