Osteocare Original
calcium and vitamin D

Osteocare Original

Osteocare Original is the UK's No.1 calcium formula. It has been scientifically formulated using the latest research to provide a rich source of calcium and co-factors including vitamin D, which supports the body's normal absorption of calcium. Osteocare Original is also suitable for vegans and has the official endorsement of both the Vegan Society and the Vegetarian Society.

Improved formula with vegan vitamin D3

This improved formula has been developed in accordance with the latest Vitamin D and Bone Health (ROS, 2018) guidelines for regular daily supplementation, providing 25 µg of vitamin D3*. It also includes magnesium, calcium, zinc and four additional supporting ingredients.

Osteocare contains the preferred form of vitamin D – D3, known as cholecalciferol, which is produced by the skin upon exposure to sunlight. D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D because it is the specific form produced in the human body and is more effective than D2, which is found in some supplements.

Vitabiotics nutrition experts have developed Osteocare Original with vitamin D3 from a natural, vegan plant source (algae).

Calcium and Coefficients

Osteocare Original provides 100% NRV (Reference Intake) of calcium combined with co-factors including vitamin D, zinc and magnesium to help maintain healthy bones.

Calcium is important for everyone

Ensuring adequate calcium intake is essential for men and women of all ages, as research shows that healthy habits early in life, including adequate calcium and trace element intake, contribute to healthy bones and optimal bone mineralisation. Maximum bone mass, achieved during childhood and growth, is crucial for maintaining healthy bones in later life. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone considers a daily vitamin D supplement, particularly in autumn and winter.

Calcium is essential for older women

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

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

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

• Dietary calcium intake may decline with age.

• The rate of bone loss accelerates during menopause.

Do you have difficulty swallowing tablets?

This original formula is also available as a chewable tablet for those who have difficulty swallowing. Osteocare Chewable provides the same levels of calcium, magnesium and zinc that support healthy bones. Adequate calcium intake is especially important for men and women over 50, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and during and after menopause.

Calcium Intake Guidelines

The Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) recommends the following guidelines for calcium intake:

Based on the recommendations of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy, Department of Health, 1998.

Based on scientific research

The Osteocare formula is based on the latest international discoveries on the role of nutrients in bone health, as well as numerous major scientific studies conducted over the last 30 years.
