Calcium is life itself to body.cella, for without it the calls dir, and even a slight shortage is nowadays recognised as the underlying cause of many common ailments.

In nursing mothers there is a heavy loss of calcium by the banes and issues, and any deficiency is quickly shown by decay of "teeth, lactational headaches and general weakness. The baby, too, is underdeveloped with weak bones and delayed dentition. Kalana is a potent means of restoring normal calcium meta- bolism in nursing mothers. It quickly dispels weaknes, debility and irritability, and prevent loss of teeth. At the same time it ensures strong bones, sound teeth and a sobust constitution to the child. Invaluable in delayed and painful dentition.

Start Kalzana to day and make sure that your baby will be strong and sturdy.
