PharmaNord Bio-Calcium + D3 + K 500mg Tablets 60
PharmaNord Bio Calcium + D3 + K 500mg is a combination supplement that contains a high percentage of elemental calcium in an easily absorbed form. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for the maintenance of normal bone in adults as well as for the growth of bone in children. A sufficient daily intake of calcium is important in older adults, particularly women around the menopause, as well as in young people, to build up strong bones at an early age and counteract the loss of bone mass which occurs in later life.
Product Information
Calcium D3 + K is a combination supplement that contains a high percentage of elemental calcium in an easily absorbed form. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for the maintenance of normal bone in adults as well as for the growth of bone in children. A sufficient daily intake of calcium is important in older adults, particularly women around the menopause, as well as in young people, to build up strong bones at an early age and counteract the loss of bone mass which occurs in later life.
Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bone as well as contributing to normal blood clotting. Vitamin D also contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorous and the maintenance of normal blood calcium concentrations.
