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. Zinc is essential in bone metabolism as a cofactor for specific enzyme. Magnesium is required for proper absorption and metabolism of Ca++ and regulates active calcium transport. Thus, OSTIUM is an effective treatment for osteoporosis and related conditions.
