Friend of NOF Partners
Os-Cal
GlaxoSmithKline, makers of OS-CAL® calcium with vitamin D, has been designated as a “Friend of NOF”. Os-Cal is the first calcium supplement with vitamin D that is proven to help reduce the risk of hip fractures by 29% when taken as directed (National Institutes of Health Study). Os-Cal is an ideal partner for your osteoporosis medication as these drugs need calcium and vitamin D to be effective. As a doctor recommended calcium supplement with unsurpassed absorption, Os-Cal was used in clinical trials with the most commonly prescribed osteoporosis medications (bisphosphonates).
With the most concentrated source of calcium, Os-Cal offers both coated caplets with fewer and smaller pills per dose for ease of swallowing, and chewable tablets in a pleasant lemon chiffon flavor.
