Osteoporosis and bone health
About 2 million Canadians, both men and women, and mainly adults with more than 50 years of age are affected by Osteoporosis. It is a disease that causes the skeleton to weaken, leading to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture (broken bones), particularly of the hip, spine and wrist. Osteoporotic bones can break in situations where healthy bones would not normally break. Osteoporosis is often known as the silent disease because bone loss occurs without pain or other symptoms.
There are 3 main therapeutic options:
- changes in lifestyle
- medications
- supplementation with calcium and vitamin D
Why use U-Cal D800
Calcium combined with Vitamin D is recommended for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in men and women.
Calcium is necessary to strengthen the bones. Most calcium is obtained from food (dairy products and food fortified with calcium) but the quantity may not be sufficient. That is why supplementation is important.
Only taking adequate doses of calcium may not be sufficient for your bone health. Vitamin D is essential for efficient calcium absorption. The body produces its own vitamin D through exposure to sunlight but it is insufficient in Canada due to our geographical position.
U-Cal D800 is the only bone health supplement that meets the daily requirements of calcium and vitamin D in a single tablet.
Talk with your doctor: he/she is the best person to give you medical advices.
