Pharmacology
Calcium (Algae Source) is an essential element that plays a vital role in strengthening the body’s framework by building bones. Clinical evidence suggests calcium is useful for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and associated fractures. Vitamin D3 aids in calcium absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates bone formation. Controlled studies show that calcium and vitamin D3 have synergistic effects on bone growth, osteoporosis, and fracture prevention.
