Vita-D helps build strong bones by promoting the absorption of calcium. Vita-D contains Vitamin D3 which is the natural form of Vitamin D found in humans and is required for healthy bones & teeth. A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis later in life.
Vita-D can also help improve muscle strength in older people which may reduce the incidence of falls in the elderly.
The incidence of osteoporosis is rising with 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men over the age of 60 years having osteoporosis in Australia. Osteoporosis can lead to fractures which can cause chronic pain and disability in the community.
