How It Works
BON K2 TABLET helps in promoting bone health, whereas calcitriol works by aiding the body to absorb more calcium from food or supplements, which also regulates the production of parathyroid hormone (the chemical responsible for maintaining calcium and phosphorus balance in the body). Calcium Citrate Malate works by facilitating calcium retention and bone accrual, which leads to the consolidation and maintenance of bone mass, thus reducing the risk of bone fracture and osteoporosis. Menaquinone works by increasing collagen production through osteoblastic cells and inhibiting calcium deposits in the arteries, thus increasing healthy bone deposits and thereby managing osteoporosis in affected individuals.
