General Information

Ostelin Vitamin D & Calcium Kids Chewable

  • Children grow rapidly and so do their bones. Building strong bones in childhood sets the foundation for lifelong skeletal health.
  • The vast majority of adult bone mass is attained before the age of 14 and peak bone mass is reached between 25-30 years of age.
  • Children may require additional calcium to meet maximum bone growth.
  • Vitamin D is essential for optimal bone mineralisation in children, especially during times when sunlight exposure is limited.
  • Developing strong, healthy bones during childhood helps influence bone mass.
  • Vitamin D helps calcium absorption and a diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life.

Ostelin Vitamin D & Calcium Kids Chewable may especially benefit children who:

  • Are aged 2-13 years.
  • Who have insufficient dietary intake of calcium due to dietary limitations such as allergies or fussy eating.
  • Have limited sunlight exposure or who cover up when in the sun.
  • Are going through a growth spurt.
  • Have a naturally darker skin tone or a skin related condition and hence avoid sunlight.
  • Who wear full length clothing for cultural or religious reasons.
