• May supplement additional calcium requirements after menopause. This will assist in the preventing and treatment of osteoporosis.
• A calcium supplement formulated to strengthen bone and tissue for children and adults of all ages.
• An adequate dietary calcium intake while young and throughout life is important to maximise bone density.
• The main ingredient of MaxCal Plus -Calcium citrate- is made from grain and is suitable for vegetarians.
• Calcium citrate is better absorbed than calcium carbonate.
• Vitamin D and minerals support bone health.

Maxcal Plus is a high potency calcium supplement which helps you if your diet does not provide enough calcium. It contains calcium and a number of other essential nutrients (vitamin D3, magnesium, zinc and manganese) to provide an optimum care for your bone health.
Maxcal Plus assists in strengthening your bones and may help prevent and treat osteoporosis.

MAY ASSIST IN THE PREVENTION &
TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS



High Potency               Aust L 123641Compared with other calcium supplements, Maxcal Plus contains high content of calcium citrate (1244.9mg). This has great advantages in maintaining and improving bone health, because:

• The bio-availabability of calcium citrate is greater than that of calcium carbonate, and it is more easily absorbed by the human body.(1-5)
• Calcium citrate shows better results in restraining the parathyroid hormone than that of calcium carbonate.(6)
• Study also finds that calcium citrate probably does not increase the risk of stone formation.(7)

The combination of vitamin D and a number of minerals in Maxcal Plus boosts calcium's functions and provides extra care for your bone health.
