Osteocare® Joint - an advanced 2-in-1 formula for healthy BONES and JOINTS

Osteocare® Joint provides the original comprehensive Osteocare® bone health formula, with the additional benefit of glucosamine, chondroitin and ginger extract in a convenient all in one formula to optimise joint and bone health.

Osteocare® Joint provides a unique formula which combines the best known ingredients for healthy bones and joints. Because many people who take a bone health formula are also interested in their joints, Osteocare® Joint has been designed for maximum convenience so there is no need for separate supplements. The advanced formula provides great value by combining joint and bone support in one.

Bone health

The number one calcium supplement in the UK, the original Osteocare® tablet formula has been developed by leading doctors and pharmacists. The well-balanced formula provides a rich source of calcium with co-factors to help maintain strong bones and teeth, as well as the health of the heart, muscles, and nerves. The formula includes the full-recommended daily allowances of calcium and magnesium, which play a vital role in bone development, along with vitamin D3 and zinc.

With vitamin D (the preferred form of vitamin D)

Vitamin D contributes to normal bone growth and development by helping the bones absorb calcium. It is also responsible for bone mineralisation and producing the hormones which maintain healthy levels of calcium in the bones and bloodstream. Osteocare® contains the preferred D3 form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that is produced by the action of sunlight (UVB ultraviolet radiation) on the skin. D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D because it is the specific form made in the human body and therefore more effective than D2 which is found in some supplements. Recent research has also highlighted the additional benefits if vitamin D for the immune system and the recommendations that current vitamin D intakes should be increased for optimum health.

Joint Health

Glucosamine is naturally required by the body for the production of collagen to cushion the joints (cartilage) and synovial fluid which bathes and lubricates them. Chondroitin helps form the proteins that maintain cartilage elasticity and works synergistically with glucosamine to help maintain joint health. The Chondroitin and glucosamine in Osteocare® Joint work synergistically to support cartilage health and joint lubrication. The formula also contains ginger extract, a well known culinary ingredient for joint health.
Quality and Purity
The Glucosamine sulphate and Chondroitin sulphate in Osteocare® Joint are of pharmaceutical United States Pharmacopeia purity standard (USP) grade and produced in accordance with the quality control requirements of pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

Calcium and bone co-factors

Ensuring an adequate intake of calcium is vital for men and women of all ages. Osteocare® also contains zinc to help in the constant regeneration of bone and to help maintain healthy muscles and nerves. Magnesium plays another essential role in regulating calcium metabolism and can therefore work to maintain bone mineralisation.



Calcium is vital for older women

Both sexes lose bone mass during their lifetime but after the menopause women usually lose bone mass much faster than men.

Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of bone loss for three reasons:

(1) bone mineral content tends to be lower in women than in men;

(2) dietary calcium intake may decrease with age, and

(3) the rate of bone loss accelerates at menopause.
