Pharma Nord PharmaNord Bio-Calcium + D3 + K 500mg Tablets 150

PharmaNord Bio Calcium D3 + K is a combination supplement that contains a high percentage of elemental calcium in an easily absorbed form. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for the maintenance of normal bone in adults as well as for the growth of bone in children. A sufficient daily intake of calcium is important in older adults, particularly women around the menopause, as well as in young people, to build up strong bones at an early age and counteract the loss of bone mass which occurs in later life.
Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bone as well as contributing to normal blood clotting. Vitamin D also contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorous and the maintenance of normal blood calcium concentrations.

Why Pharma Nord Bio-Calcium + D3 + K:
Manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.
Bio-Calcium contains vitamin D3 and K, which both promote the absorption of calcium.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the most absorbable form of vitamin D.
