Vitabiotics Osteocare Chewable are a tasty way of ensuring that your bones remain strong and healthy. These peppermint and orange tablets are so tasty, even children will like them. Osteoporosis is a major cause of immobility as we age, but by taking a daily supplement of Vitabiotics Osteocare Chewable you can reduce your risk of this happening to you.
The exact Osteocare advanced formulation is now available in a great tasting peppermint and orange flavoured chewable tablet. Osteocare Chewable has been designed to help keep your bones strong and healthy and its advanced formula provides key nutrients for bone health including calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D3, plus co-factors to help maintain bone renewal. Osteocare Chewable is a convenient alternative to swallowing tablets and is suitable for children, men and women of all ages.
The science of good bone structure - The number one calcium supplement in the UK, the original Osteocare® tablet formula has been developed by leading doctors and pharmacists. The well-balanced formula provides a rich source of calcium with co-factors to help maintain strong bones and teeth, as well as the health of the heart, muscles, and nerves. The formula includes the full-recommended daily allowances of calcium and magnesium, which play a vital role in bone development, along with vitamin D3 and zinc.
With vitamin D (in the preferred D3 form) and zinc - Vitamin D contributes to normal bone growth and development by helping the bones absorb calcium. It is also responsible for bone mineralization and maintaining healthy levels of calcium and phosphorus levels in the bones and bloodstream.
Osteocare® 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 action of sunlight (UVB ultraviolet radiation) on a cholesterol-like molecule present in the skin. 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 .Osteocare® also contains zinc to help in the constant regeneration of bone and to help maintain healthy muscles and nerves.
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.
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:
(1) bone mineral content tends to be lower in women than in men;
(2) dietary calcium intake may decrease with age, and
(3) the rate of bone loss accelerates at menopause
Based on scientific research - The Osteocare® formulation is based on the very latest international findings on the role of nutrients in bone health, as well as multiple large-scale scientific studies in the past 20 years.
Recommended for children and vegetarians - Osteocare® Chewable is especially recommended for children and Osteocare® is the only calcium supplement in the UK with the full RDA of calcium to be officially approved by the Vegetarian Society.
