Vitabiotics Osteocare Glucosamine & Chondroitin combines the Osteocare calcium formula with glucosamine, chondroitin and ginger root extract in a single tablet, so there is no need to take a separate bone and cartilage supplement.

Description

Two formulas in one tablet

Many people taking a calcium supplement are also looking after their cartilage and connective tissue, and end up buying two products. This formula brings both together. Three tablets provide 800mg of calcium, the full nutrient reference value, alongside 750mg of glucosamine sulphate, 300mg of chondroitin sulphate and ginger root extract.

Bones

Calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin D all contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, and vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium. The vitamin D is D3 (cholecalciferol) from an algal source, at 25mcg per daily intake.

Cartilage and connective tissue

Cartilage is the flexible connective tissue found between bones. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage, and copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues. This formula provides 80mg of vitamin C and 1000mcg of copper alongside its glucosamine and chondroitin content.

FAQ

Can I take it if I'm allergic to shellfish or fish?

No. The glucosamine is sourced from crustacean and the chondroitin from fish, so this formula is not suitable if you have a shellfish or fish allergy. Ask your pharmacist about alternatives.

Can I take it alongside my usual Osteocare or a joint supplement?

No, and you should not need to. This formula is designed to replace other Osteocare and Jointace supplements rather than be taken with them. If you are already taking something similar, check with your pharmacist before switching.

How long does a pack of 60 last?

Between 20 and 30 days, depending on whether you take two or three tablets a day. The nutritional values shown are based on a three tablet daily intake.

Is there anyone who should check before taking it?

Yes. Anyone with diabetes or taking anticoagulant (blood thinning) medication should speak to their doctor first. It is also not suitable for children, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical supervision, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Directions

Two to three tablets per day with your main meal. Swallow with water or a cold drink. Not to be chewed. Do not exceed the recommended intake.

This formula replaces other Osteocare and Jointace supplements. A regular intake is recommended.
