Synosteo is a unique combination containing calcium citrate, calcium lactate, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in strengths according to international scientific guidelines. It is the only product currently available in the Greek market and combines the benefits of calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K2 in a single daily intake.
Insufficient calcium intake can lead to a reduction in bone density, which increases the risk of fractures. Supplemental calcium administration has a positive effect on bone density and bone strength and prevents osteoporosis.
Vitamin D is essential for absorbing the necessary amount of calcium, it acts positively to bone metabolism and improves the strength of the muscular system, hence mobility and stability in walking. Adequate intake of vitamin K2 reduces the risk of vascular damage because it inhibits calcium deposition in the vascular wall and is necessary for the utilization of calcium in the bones.
Synosteo is a unique combination and its administration combines several advantages:
It contains calcium citrate and calcium lactate.
Most types of calcium supplements contain either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is however indigestible and should be taken with food. Conversely, calcium citrate is more digestible and can be taken at any time during the day, even on an empty stomach.
This form is also recommended in people who have low levels of stomach acid (hypochlorite), in the elderly, in those taking acid secretion inhibitors (eg antacids) or in those suffering from inflammatory bowel disorders.
One of the most important causes of reduced compliance of women in chronic illness is local tolerance. Calcium carbonate can cause more gastrointestinal disturbances, namely blistering, abdominal pain, gas induration and tenderness (tendency to defecation), dyspepsia and constipation. Conversely, calcium citrate does not cause gassing and has good tolerance.
Calcium lactate is also easily absorbed and irrespective of food, and is also suitable for people who are allergic to milk or lactose intolerance.
Another possible concern for the chronic administration of calcium is the possibility of occurrence of nephrolithiasis. Citrate salts inhibit the formation of crystals, reduce stones formation and are used to treat and prevent the formation of kidney stones.
It offers a ready mix of calcium and vitamin D.
The basic function of vitamin D is the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the body. Even in a sunny country like Greece, statistics show that instead of a surplus, we probably have a deficiency of this vitamin. Synosteo contains the recommended doses of calcium and vitamin D in each sachet and is given once a day to facilitate compliance.
It has a pleasant orange flavor
Contains vitamin K2
All products do not have the same characteristics and the acceptable flavor is very important especially in chronic treatments. Synosteo has an orange flavor and is pleasantly taken at any time during the day.
The presence of vitamin K2 reduces the risk of calcium deposition in the vascular wall and positively affects the deposition of calcium in the bones.
It does not contain gluten and lactose.
Reduced likelihood of intolerance.
