Highly bioavailable forms

Not all forms of vitamins and minerals are the same.

Vitamin D2, a fully approved source of vitamin D, appears to be less effective at improving vitamin D status in the body than the vitamin D3 form (Tripkovic et al., 2012).

Calcium salts differ in their elemental content and bioavailability, with calcium citrate being one of the most effective because of its good balance of these factors and the ability to be absorbed effectively, even on an empty stomach (Straub, 2007).

In convenient capsules

Calcium and vitamin D dietary supplements are usually presented in large tablets that are difficult to consume.

In our product, thanks to the use of nutrient-dense salts, we've used veg capsules for the presentation of the supplement. This allows:
