Osteocare Glucosamine & Chondroitin
glucosamine and chondroitin

Cinnamon and fenugreek are botanicals that have been used for thousands of years.

Many people who take a bone health formula are also interested in maintaining healthy cartilage and connective tissue. Osteocare Glucosamine & Chondroitin is formulated to eliminate the need for separate products. The advanced formula provides great value by combining nutrients for bone and cartilage health in one comprehensive formula.

Bone health

Osteocare is the UK's No.1 calcium formula, scientifically formulated using the latest research to provide a rich source of calcium, magnesium and zinc, which contribute to the maintenance of healthy bones, as well as vitamin D, which helps the body absorb and utilise calcium properly.

Osteocare Glucosamine & Chondroitin contains the preferred form of vitamin D D3. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a form of vitamin D that is produced by the skin when exposed to sunlight. D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D because it is the specific form produced in the human body and is therefore more effective than D2, which is found in some supplements.

Cartilage health

Cartilage is the elastic connective tissue found between bones. Vitamin C contributes to the proper formation of collagen, which ensures the proper functioning of bones and cartilage. Osteocare Glucosamine also provides copper, which contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissue, as well as glucosamine, chondroitin and ginger root extract.

Calcium is important for everyone

Ensuring an adequate calcium intake is essential for men and women of all ages, as evidence suggests that healthy practices in early life, including adequate calcium and trace element intake, contribute to good bone health and optimal bone mineralisation. It is well known that peak bone mass, achieved in childhood and adolescence, is crucial for maintaining bone in later life. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone considers taking a daily vitamin D supplement, particularly in autumn and winter. (Source: www.nhs.co.uk).

Calcium is essential for older women

Both sexes lose bone mass throughout their lives, but after menopause, women typically lose bone mass much faster than men.

Postmenopausal women are at increased risk of bone loss for three reasons:

- Bone mineral content is usually lower in women than in men.

- Dietary calcium intake may decrease with age.

- The rate of bone loss accelerates during menopause

Do you have difficulty swallowing tablets?

Getting enough calcium is especially important for men and women over 50, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and during and after menopause. For those who don't like swallowing pills, Osteocare Fizz, Chewable or Liquid is an ideal alternative.
