In Osteoporosis & Related Fractures
Calcimax K2 Plus provides a synergistic combination of Calcium, Vitamin K2, Calcitriol (Active form of Vitamin D), Zinc & Magnesium.
Calcium is important for everyone
Ensuring an adequate intake of calcium is vital for men and women of all ages, as evidence suggests that healthy practices early in life, including the adequate consumption of calcium and trace elements, contribute to normal bone health and optimal bone mineralization. Peak bone mass, obtained during childhood and adolescent growth is known to be of major importance in maintaining bones later in life.
Calcium is vital for older women
Both sexes lose bone mass during their lifetime but after the menopause women usually lose bone mass much faster than men.
Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of bone loss for three reasons:
- Bone mineral content tends to be lower in women than in men
- Dietary calcium intake may decrease with age
- The rate of bone loss accelerates at menopause
Calcium intake guidelines
The National Osteoporosis Society (NOS) recommends the following guidelines for calcium intake
| Age | Suggested daily calcium intake |
| 0-12 months (non-breast-fed infants only) | 525 mg |
| 1-3 years | 350 mg |
| 4-6 years | 450 mg |
| 7-10 years | 550 mg |
| 11-18 years boys/girls | 1000 / 800 mg |
| 19+ years | 700 mg |
| Pregnant woman | 700 mg |
| Breastfeeding woman | 700 + 550 mg |

Calcimax K2 Plus provides a synergistic combination of Calcium, Vitamin K2, Calcitriol (Active form of Vitamin D), Zinc & Magnesium.
Calcium with Calcitriol
Calcimax K2 Plus provides a synergistic combination of Calcium with Calcitriol. Calcitriol is the hormonally active form of Vitamin D.
Calcitriol accelerates the rate of intestinal absorption of Calcium in our body thereby significantly aiding bone mineralization.
Vitamin K2-7
Vitamin K2-7 (Menaquinone) supports bone and cardiovascular health. Vitamin K2-7 supports healthy bone mineralization by acting as a cofactor in the carboxylation of osteocalcin, allowing calcium to bind to this protein in the extracellular matrix of bone.
Zinc and Magnesium
Zinc & Magnesium act as co-factors involved in maintaining bone health.
