Therapeutic Category

Dietary supplement for strengthening bone tissue and preventing osteoporosis

Properties

Osteomed^® Forte has a multi-level effect: it helps regulate calcium-phosphorus metabolism, effective and safe restoration and formation of bone tissue structure; it suppresses bone resorption and stimulates osteogenesis; it increases bone mineral density. Being a source of natural prohormones, the product contributes to the safe normalization of hormonal levels and the formation of collagen.

It is well absorbed and does not reduce gastric acidity due to the calcium citrate in the composition.

Properties of biologically active components

Calcium citrate promotes more complete and safe absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract, helps suppress the production of parathyroid hormone and prevent bone resorption, being an effective and safe form of calcium necessary for strengthening bones (increasing bone mineral density).

Drone brood homogenate with vitamin B₆ (Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) helps increase androgen levels, which improves bone remodeling, indirectly stimulating osteoblast activity and increasing the number of osteocytes. The amino acids that are part of the drone brood homogenate are involved in the formation of collagen, which forms the bone matrix.

Vitamin D₃ (Colecalciferol) promotes the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus and is responsible for reducing the excretion of these substances through the kidneys in the urine. Vitamin D₃ is necessary for skeletal growth, muscle strengthening, and mineralization of bones and teeth.

Vitamin B₆ (Pyridoxine hydrochloride) helps absorb magnesium from the gastrointestinal tract and transport it into cells, absorb calcium, its penetration through cell membranes and retention in bones, preventing disruption of calcium metabolism. Vitamin B₆ prevents stone formation in the renal pelvis and takes part in the synthesis of sex hormones.
