Effect of calcium and vitamin D3

The intake of calcium and vitamin D3 is considered one of the most important basic measures for the treatment of osteoporosis.Vitamin D3 supports the active absorption of calcium from the intestine and the storage of this important “building material” in the bones.Both nutrients work hand in hand when it comes to strong bones.In fact, the combined intake is significantly superior to mono-supplementation with vitamin D.Calcimed D3 1000 mg / 880 I.U. contains exactly these nutrients in combined form.Thanks to the high dosage, just 1 chewable tablet per day is sufficient to achieve the recommendations for daily calcium and vitamin D3 intake as part of osteoporosis treatment.
