Highly absorbable calcium combined with vitamin D3 to support bone and colon health*; may reduce the risk of osteoporosis**
Several clinical trials reveal the positive effects of combined supplemental calcium and vitamin D for bone health. Vitamin D is important for its ability to promote intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption, reduce urinary calcium loss and support the healthy bone composition. In a large trial involving over 3,000 women, supplementation with calcium, vitamin D daily for one and a half years supported the bone composition of the femur. In another study, calcium and vitamin D supplementation promoted calcium utilization and maintained healthy bones in postmenopausal women. Calcium citrate malate combined with vitamin D moderated the rate of bone loss for a separate group of postmenopausal women, maintaining support for the spine. Calcium and vitamin D also plays a role in supporting colon health.*
