Osteocare Plus tablets

Osteocare is the UK's No.1 calcium formula and has been scientifically developed on the basis of the very latest research to provide a rich source of calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.

Osteocare’s unique formula provides calcium (800mg) with essential magnesium (300mg), together with other important nutrients:

• Calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D and zinc which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones
• Magnesium also contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and muscle function

Osteocare Plus 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 is more effective than D2 which is found in some supplements.

Improved formula now with extra vitamin D3

This improved formula provides 35μg of vitamin D3*. Alongside magnesium, calcium, zinc, plus four additional supporting nutrients. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing vitamin D especially during the autumn and winter. (Source: www.nhs.uk).

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 greater bone strength and optimal bone mineralisation. Peak bone mass, obtained during childhood and adolescent growth is known to be of major importance in maintaining the strength and integrity of 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

Balanced with essential magnesium

Osteocare Plus’ natural source calcium is carefully balanced with essential magnesium which also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscle function.

Have difficulty swallowing tablets?

Getting enough calcium is especially important for men and women over 50, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and during and after the menopause. For those that do not like swallowing tablets, Osteocare Fizz, Chewable or Liquid is an ideal alternative.
