Osteocare is the UK's no.1 bone
health formula and has been scientifically developed on the basis of the very
latest research to provide a rich source of calcium and co-factors including
vitamin D which helps with the normal absorption of calcium by the body in a
great tasting orange & peppermint chewable tablet.
Osteocare Chewable contains the preferred D3 form of Vitamin D. Vitamin
D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that is produced by
the skin on exposure to sunlight. D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D because
it is the specific form made in the human body and therefore more effective
than D2 which is found in some supplements.
Calcium plus co-factors
Osteocare Chewable provides 100% NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of
calcium carefully combined with co-factors including vitamin D, zinc and
magnesium which help to maintain normal bone health.
Calcium is important for everyone
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 bone mineralisation. Peak bone mass, obtained during
childhood and adolescent growth is known to be of major importance in
maintaining bones later in life. The UK Department of Health recommends that
everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing of vitamin D,
particularly during autumn and winter (Source: NHS Choices).
Calcium is vital for older women
Both sexes lose bone mass during their lifetime but after the menopause
women usually lose bone mass much faster than men.
Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of bone loss for three
reasons:
- Bone mineral content tends to be lower in women than in men
- Dietary calcium intake may decrease with age
- The rate of bone loss accelerates at menopause
Have difficulty swallowing tablets?
This Chewable formula is ideal for those who have difficulty with
swallowing tablets. Getting enough calcium is especially important for men and
women over 50, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and during and after the
menopause.
