• Description

• For trusted support in a smooth, easy format, Osteocare Liquid gives you calcium and important co-factors like magnesium, vitamin D and zinc, all in one delicious orange flavour.

  Osteocare Liquid has been scientifically developed on the basis of the very latest research and provides a rich source of calcium and co-factors in a smooth, great tasting liquid. The formula also provides vitamin D which helps with the normal absorption of calcium by the body.

  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 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.

  New Improved Formula

  Now with a higher level of vitamin D, providing 10µg in every two teaspoonfuls, the exact amount that the UK Department of Health recommend that everybody should consider taking daily, especially during the autumn and winter months.*

  Calcium plus co-factors

  Osteocare Liquid carefully combines calcium with co-factors including vitamin D, zinc, plus magnesium which help to maintain normal bones.

  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 optimal 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.

  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 liquid formula is ideal for those who have difficulty with swallowing tablets, and provides calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and zinc which contribute to the maintenance of normal bone health. Getting enough calcium is especially important for men and women over 50, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and during and after the menopause.

  Children's growth and development

  With a delicious orange taste, Osteocare Liquid is ideal for children. Osteocare liquid provides calcium and vitamin D which are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children over 3 years.
