Simply because the body lacks calcium.
That is the reply, supported by the best medical opinion. Calcium is the vital food *of every body cell, and any shortage hinders the correct performance of all bodily func- tions, particularly those of women.
The use of KALZANA, the calcium-food, for a few weeks provides the whole system with all the calcium (lime) needed to establish that care-free, vigorous health that Nature intended you to enjoy.
But it must be Kalzana, as only in this scientific form (a combination of sodium- lactate and calcium-lactate) will the calcium be taken up and retained by your body.
Lose your dread-re-establish the functions on a normal basis by starting: 2 course of Kalzana to-day.
