Description
In Osteoporosis related bone fractures, Calcium is essential to attain maximum bone mass.

OSTIUM is a unique anti-osteoporotic combination containing calcitriol, calcium, zinc and magnesium.

Calcium is an important structural component of bone, required for strengthening of bones and essential for prevention and treatment of Osteoporosis.

Calcitriol, an active form of Vit D3 facilitates absorption of Ca++ by small intestine and promotes mineralization of bones.
