Vitabiotics Osteocare Original Tablets provide calcium alongside magnesium, zinc and vitamin D3, nutrients which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Two tablets are taken daily, so this pack of 30 gives a 15 day supply.

Description

Calcium with its co-factors

Two tablets provide 800mg of calcium, the full nutrient reference value, alongside 25mcg of vitamin D3, 300mg of magnesium and 10mg of zinc. 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. Magnesium also contributes to normal muscle function.

Vitamin D3 from a vegan source

The vitamin D in Osteocare Original is D3 (cholecalciferol), derived from an algal source rather than lanolin, which is why the formula is approved by both the Vegan Society and the Vegetarian Society. The Department of Health advises that everyone should consider a daily supplement containing vitamin D, particularly during autumn and winter.

FAQ

How long does a pack of 30 last?

Fifteen days, since the recommended intake is two tablets daily with your main meal.

The tablets look large. Can I chew them or break them up?

No, they are not formulated to be chewed and should be swallowed whole with water or a cold drink. Calcium tablets do tend to be larger than most supplements because of the amount of calcium they carry. If swallowing tablets is difficult, Osteocare is also made as a chewable tablet and as a liquid.

Can I take it alongside my other medicines or supplements?

Speak to your pharmacist or doctor first, particularly if you are under medical supervision or taking prescribed medicines. Calcium can affect how some medicines are absorbed, so timing may matter.

Is it suitable for children?

No. Osteocare Original tablets are not suitable for children. Vitabiotics make a liquid version aimed at younger age groups, and your pharmacist can advise on what is appropriate.

Directions

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

Osteocare can be continued for as long as required.
