Calcimed® D3 600 mg / 400 IU effervescent tablets

The intake of calcium and vitamin D3 is one of the most important basic measures for the treatment of osteoporosis.Vitamin D3 supports the active absorption of calcium from the intestine and its storage in the bones.The combined intake of these nutrients is significantly superior to mono-supplementation with vitamin D.Calcimed® D3 600 mg / 400 IU contains these nutrients in a combined form, so that just two effervescent tablets per day are enough to supply the body with 1,200 mg calcium and 800 IU vitamin D3.
