STRONG BONES 
Women are naturally more prone to osteoporosis than men, no thanks to smaller bones and the decline in oestrogen after menopause, which results in more rapid bone loss. That’s why it’s critical to build up strong bones as early as possible. Here to help is Omical Real Organic Milk Calcium Tablets. Derived from pure organic milk, these calcium supplements reportedly mimic the composition of our bones to ensure optimum absorption, and have iron, zinc, vitamin D, magnesium and potassium to boot. A big bonus: they are suitable for the lactose-intolerant. Available at Guardian, Watsons, Unity and selected independent retailers.

SHOES THAT SOAR 
Free. Weightless. Liberated. These are words we’d associate with the ad campaign for Geox’s Nebula, its latest offering for Spring/Summer 2016. Titled #startbreathing, the campaign was shot by British portrait and fashion photographer Rankin, and features professional dancers wearing Nebula shoes leaping and soaring into the air. The shoes, by the way, are designed to be ultra light and flexible, and boast technologies that enhance breathability. Check out the campaign at http://nebula.geox.com.
