Osteo Plus provides essential calcium, along with a selection of other vitamins and minerals needed to help maintain healthy bones and teeth.
Osteo Plus has been developed to provide a balanced formulation that acts in combination to help maintain strong bones and teeth. Strong bones are as important as healthy cartilage. The enemy of strong bones is osteoporosis - literally meaning porous bones - it is a debilitating bone disease that involves loss of bone mass and bone quality.
Over time bones become fragile and susceptible to fractures. Osteoporosis has been termed the 'silent disease' because of the way it progresses, without pain or symptoms, until a bone fracture occurs. It must not be confused with osteo-arthritis, which has symptoms of swollen joints, stiffness and pain.
Calcium is commonly available as calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium citrate malate, calcium gluconate, calcium phosphate and calcium lactate. Healthspan's leading nutritionists chose calcium carbonate as it has the highest yield of pure calcium of them all. In addition to this, each Osteo-Plus tablet also includes magnesium and zinc (necessary for healthy bone structure), vitamin D to assist in calcium absorption plus copper and boron to help reduce the rate of calcium loss from our bones.
