Area of application

Calcium D3 STADA 600 mg / 400 I.U. is used to support the treatment of osteoporosis and to compensate for a simultaneous calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency.The combination of calcium and vitamin D3 promotes the absorption of calcium in the intestine and supports the incorporation of calcium into the bones.The practical chewable tablets are easy to integrate into everyday life.

This is how Calcium D3 STADA® works

A balanced calcium balance is essential for healthy bones.Calcium can help treat osteoporosis, a condition that is particularly common in women during menopause.Hormonal changes play an important role because estrogens counteract bone loss.The combination with vitamin D3 improves the absorption of calcium in the intestine and lowers the level of parathyroid hormone.Low vitamin D3 levels often occur in winter and with old age.
