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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitabiotics’ nutritional experts have formulated Osteocare Original with vitamin D3 derived from a natural vegan plant source (Algal).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium plus co-factors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOsteocare Original provides 100% NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of calcium carefully combined with co-factors including vitamin D, zinc and magnesium, all of which help to maintain normal bone health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium is important for everyone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsuring 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.
