Description
Osteocare FizzOsteocare is the UK's no.1 calcium formula and has been scientifically developed on the basis of the very latest research to provide a rich source of calcium and co-factors including vitamin D which helps with the normal absorption of calcium by the body.Osteocare Fizz makes a convenient, great tasting orange flavour drink and is ideal for those who have difficulty with swallowing tablets.Osteocare Fizz contains the preferred D3 form of Vitamin D. 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.Calcium plus co-factorsOsteocare Fizz provides 100% NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of calcium (based on two tablets) carefully combined with co-factors including vitamin D, zinc and magnesium which help to maintain normal bone health.Calcium is important for everyoneEnsuring 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 mineralisation. Peak bone mass, obtained during childhood and adolescent growth is known to be of major importance in maintaining bones later in life. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing of vitamin D, particularly during autumn and winter.Calcium is vital for older womenBoth 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:- Bone mineral content tends to be lower in women than in men- Dietary calcium intake may decrease with age- The rate of bone loss accelerates at menopauseCalcium intake guidelinesThe Royal Osteoperosis Society (ROS) recommends the following guidelines for calcium intakeAge Suggested daily calcium intake0-12 months(non-breast-fed infants only)525 mg1-3 years350 mg4-6 years450 mg7-10 years550 mg11-18 years boys/girls1000 / 800 mg19+ years700 mgPregnant woman700 mgBreastfeeding woman700 + 550 mgBased on the Department of Health Committee on the Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition policy 1998.
