Nature's Harmony O-Calcium 500 mg with Vitamin D 200 IU is a naturally sourced calcium and vitamin D supplement providing 500 mg of elemental calcium carbonate from oyster shells and 200 IU of vitamin D. This formula is designed for maximum benefit in bone health.
Ingredients
The addition of vitamin D to the Nature's Harmony O-Calcium formula increases the absorption of calcium from the intestine and increases the uptake of calcium by the bones.
Calcium is essential during childhood, adolescence, pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is needed for strong bones and to prevent fractures. It is also required for the proper function of the heart, muscles and nervous system. Calcium is used in the treatment of countless conditions, including osteoporosis, hyperphosphatemia, epithelial hyperproliferation following intestinal bypass, hypertension, PMS and diarrhea, and it is used as an antacid.
Vitamin D is used to treat osteomalacia secondary to liver disease, rickets, osteitis fibrosa and myelodysplastic syndrome. It plays a role in the management of hypocalcemia and the prevention of osteopenia and tetany in vitamin D deficient infants.
