Calcichew-D3 Once Daily Chewable Tablets – 30 Pack

Calcichew-d3 once daily chewable tablets contain calcium and vitamin d3 to prevent and treat calcium and vitamin d deficiency in the elderly, and can also be used as a supplement to specific treatment of osteoporosis.

An essential component of bones while vitamin d plays an important role in the absorption of calcium from food.

Requirements for calcium increase with age and, although many people obtain enough calcium from their diet, some people may require a supplement in order that their body has all the calcium it needs to maintain healthy bones.

Produced largely from the action of sunlight.

Certain foodstuffs do contain vitamin d in reasonable amounts but it is not always possible to obtain all the vitamin d you need from your diet.

People who do not get out and about, for instance those who are housebound or people living in nursing and residential homes, may not receive all the vitamin d they need.

People with diets and lifestyles that mean they will obtain less than the recommended intake of calcium and vitamin d are at risk of weakened bones.

Prolonged lack of adequate calcium and vitamin d intake can lead to the development of osteoporosis, a condition where bones become weak to a level that minimal trauma (for example, a fall) can result in a fracture, most typically at the hip, spine or wrist.
