"Healthy Indulgence chocolate bites offer a unique and delicious way for women to get their daily dose of calcium," stated Jennifer Hodges, founder and CEO, Hero Nutritionals. "At Hero, we continually strive to bring innovative products to market that address the nutritional needs of children, tweens and adults."
Calcium is one of the many essential minerals that keep the body healthy and strong. It is a key factor in the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Osteoporosis, bone fractures, loss of teeth and other health problems can occur without proper calcium intake. According to the USDA, women under the age of 20 need up to 1,300 mg of calcium daily, adults over the age of 20 need up to 1,000 mg of calcium daily and women who have stopped menstruating need up to 1,500 mg daily. Approximately 75 percent of women do not get the recommended daily dosage of calcium, with more than 25 percent consuming less than one half of the daily dosage. Healthy Indulgence chocolates bites offer a delicious and easy way to supplement calcium intake and meet recommended daily requirements.
