The UK’s No.1 Calcium Supplement Brand
Osteocare Liquid
Osteocare Liquid has been scientifically developed based on the latest research and provides a rich source of calcium and co-factors in a smooth, great-tasting liquid. The formula includes vitamin D, which helps with the normal absorption of calcium by the body.
Osteocare contains the preferred D3 form of Vitamin D (cholecalciferol), the same form produced naturally by the skin when exposed to sunlight. D3 is considered more effective than D2, which is found in some supplements.
Calcium plus co-factors
Osteocare Liquid combines calcium with co-factors including vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc, all of which help maintain normal bone health.
Calcium is important for everyone
Adequate calcium intake is essential for men and women of all ages. Research shows that building strong bones early in life is crucial for long-term bone health. Peak bone mass is established during childhood and adolescence, making early calcium intake especially important. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement, especially during autumn and winter.
Calcium is vital for older women
Bone mass decreases over time, and women tend to lose it more rapidly after menopause.
Risk factors for postmenopausal women include:
- Lower bone mineral content compared to men
- Reduced dietary calcium intake with age
- Accelerated bone loss after menopause
Have difficulty swallowing tablets?
Osteocare Liquid is ideal for those who struggle with tablets. It provides calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc to help maintain normal bone health. This is especially important for those over 50, during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and post-menopause.
Children’s growth and development
With a pleasant orange taste, Osteocare Liquid is suitable for children. It provides calcium and vitamin D, which are needed for normal bone growth and development.
Dairy and fat free
Osteocare Liquid is 100% fat-free and contains no dairy, making it ideal for individuals using soya milk or avoiding dairy. It is also suitable for vegetarians.
