Indications

How It Works - Mechanism of Action

Adequate calcium is essential to a wide variety of bodily functions, and the body does not tolerate deficiency even for short periods.

Calcium and Vitamin D3 have synergistic effects on bone growth, as well as in osteoporosis and fracture prevention.
