Peak bone mass, obtained during childhood and adolescent growth is known to be of major importance in maintaining bones later in life. 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: (1) Bone mineral content tends to be lower in women than in men, (2) dietary calcium intake may decrease with age (3) the rate of bone loss accelerates at menopause. 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 mineralization. Therefore, supplementing calcium and other essential nutrients is crucial. Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in maintaining normal bones and teeth. It is vital for bone formation and helps to prevent conditions such as osteoporosis. Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, which are crucial for bone mineralization. It helps maintain adequate levels of calcium in the blood, promoting healthy bones. 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. Osteocare Fizz contains the preferred D3 form of vitamin D. Magnesium works in conjunction with calcium and is necessary for proper calcium absorption and utilization by the body. It also supports bone mineralization and plays a role in maintaining bone density. Zinc is a trace mineral that is involved in numerous bodily functions, including bone health. It aids in the production of bone matrix and helps in the formation of collagen, a protein essential for bone strength. Vitabiotics Osteocare is the UK's No.1 calcium formula and has been scientifically developed based on the very latest research to provide a rich source of calcium for women and men of all ages.
