Osteoporosis is responsible for about 1.5 million fractures each year, mostly in older people. When you drink milk, or eat cheese, the calcium in these foods is absorbed through 
your small intestine and into your blood. The amount of calcium in your blood is regulated by a substance called parathyroid hormone. When calcium intake is low, parathyroid hormone sends a signal for bone to be broken down, releasing calcium into the bloodstream and depleting the bones.
Osteomalacia, or ‘soft bones’ is caused by a vitamin D deficiency. Our body’s ability to manufacture vitamins decreases with age. ‘Soft bones’ also contributes to the number of fractures.
FLP’s Calcium tablets include vitamin D and magnesium, which converts the vitamin D to its active form in the body.
4 tablets each day provide 100% of the daily recommended requirement to maintain strong, healthy bones.
