Citracal + D 100 Tablets

Citracal calcium supplement with vitamin D may assist in the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is also known as the 'silent' disease as it is often not diagnosed until the patient falls or breaks a bone. It is characterised by low bone density, where the bones become weak and fragile. Approximately 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men over 60 will suffer from an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime.

Vitamin D helps the body absorb and use calcium more effectively. Vitamin D is often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin" because it is produced in the skin as a reaction to sunlight. As we age, our ability to convert sunlight to vitamin D diminishes. People confined to their homes and many nursing home residents may not get enough vitamin D.

If you are concerned about getting enough vitamin D, then Citracal® + D is recommended.
