Description
Developed using the very latest research, Vitabiotics Osteocare Original Tablets provide a rich source of calcium and co-factors including vitamin D, magnesium and zinc which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Suitable for men and women of all ages, this unique formula provides 100% of your recommended daily intake of calcium as recommended by the Royal Osteoporosis Society, of which Osteocare is proud to support.
Ensuring an adequate intake of calcium is vital for men and women of all ages, as evidence suggests that healthy practices early in life, including the adequate consumption of calcium and trace elements, contribute to normal bone health and optimal bone mineralisation. Both sexes lose bone mass during their lifetime but after the menopause women usually lose bone mass much faster than men.
It is also formulated with an optimum level of 25µg vitamin D3, based on the latest research, derived from a natural vegan plant source (Algal). Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the preferred form of vitamin D because it is the specific form produced by the skin on exposure to sunlight and therefore is more effective than D2. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing vitamin D especially during the autumn and winter.
