⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Good nutrition is the most important step in preventing osteoporosis and other bone diseases. Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D3 are the macronutrients the bones need. Without Vitamin D3, very little Calcium is absorbed. Magnesium, like Calcium, adds to bone strength and rigidity.
Recent epidemiological studies showed that some micronutrients, such as Copper, Manganese, Zinc and Boron, play an important role in bone health. Patients with osteoporosis are often found to be deficient in these micronutrients.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, treatment with Calcium + Vitamin D3 + Multimineral should always be directed by a physician. The body needs more calcium and vitamin D3 at these times, but when deciding how much supplement is required, the amounts the person already gets from other sources should be taken into account. If calcium and iron supplements are both needed, take them at different times.
Overdoses of vitamin D3 have shown teratogenic effects in pregnant animals. In humans, long term hypercalcaemia can lead to physical and mental retardation, aortic stenosis and retinopathy in a newborn child. Vitamin D3 and its metabolites pass into breast milk.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
