Effect of calcium and vitamin D3

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 1000 mg / 880 I.U. contains these nutrients in a combined form, so that just one chewable tablet per day is sufficient to achieve the recommendations for daily calcium and vitamin D3 intake as part of osteoporosis treatment.
