Ingredients explained
Calcium (as calcium citrate)
Calcium supplies the mineral needed for bone mineralisation and contributes to normal muscle and nerve function.
Caution: Space away from high-iron supplements or high-fibre meals if you notice reduced tolerance, as calcium can compete with absorption of some nutrients.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 supports intestinal calcium absorption and helps regulate calcium and phosphorus balance for healthy bones.
Caution: Avoid combining with high-dose vitamin D from other products to reduce risk of excessive intake.
Zinc (as zinc oxide)
Zinc acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone remodelling and collagen-related processes.
Caution: Take away from large doses of iron or copper if using separately, as minerals can compete for absorption.
Manganese (as manganese gluconate)
Manganese participates in connective tissue formation and supports enzymes involved in bone matrix development.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested use, as excessive manganese intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Copper (as copper gluconate)
Copper supports cross-linking of collagen and elastin, contributing to the structural integrity of bone and connective tissue.
Caution: Avoid high-dose zinc from other sources at the same time, as it may lower copper balance.
How they work together
Calcium provides the core mineral for bone mineralisation, while vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption and balance. Zinc, manganese and copper act as enzyme cofactors that contribute to collagen formation and bone matrix maintenance. Together they address mineral supply and the supportive protein framework.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Elderly people, adolescents, or anyone with swallowing difficulties should consult a health professional before use. If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have a medical condition, seek advice from a health professional before use. Not for children under 12 years. Do not exceed the recommended intake.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate calcium by at least 2 hours, as calcium may reduce absorption. Those monitoring vitamin D intake should note each serving provides 1,000 IU. People with a history of kidney stones or high calcium levels may wish to discuss use with a healthcare provider before starting.
Storage: Store at room temperature and avoid excessive heat.
