Cranberry juice prevents gum disease. Vitamin C helps your teeth. With all these natural women's vitamins, dentists should be out of business -- unfortunately, not every woman takes care of the pearly whites. We do, however, surpass men in tooth-brushing. We're also better at taking care of our heart and blood, with folic acid, betaine hydrochloride, soy products, iron. But we digress. Unfortunately, our dentists and chiropractors have to remind us to take more calcium, which we lose rapidly as we age. Adults 19 to 50 years old need 1,000 mg a day, and adults over 50 need 1,200 mg a day. If you're post-menopausal (you took black cohosh, right?), you need that calcium supplement more than ever. Don't go below 1,200. After all, you don't want the dentists and doctors to gloat. But do get your regular dental checkup and yearly physical just to give the medical establishment, especially the guys, something to do.
