The Synosteo is a unique combination containing citric calcium, lactic calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in quantities according to international scientific guidelines. It is the only product currently available in the Greek market that combines the benefits of calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K2 in one daily dose.
Inadequate calcium intake may lead to decreased bone density, which increases the risk of fractures. Supplemental calcium has a positive effect on bone density and bone strength and helps prevent osteoporosis.
The vitamin D is essential for the absorption of the necessary amount of calcium, positively affects bone metabolism and improves muscle system strength, thus enhancing mobility and stability in walking. Adequate intake of vitamin K2 reduces the risk of vascular damage by inhibiting the deposition of calcium in the vascular wall and is essential for the utilization of calcium in bones.
The Synosteo is a unique combination and its administration combines several benefits:
Contains citric and lactic calcium.
Most types of calcium supplements contain either calcium carbonate or citric calcium. However, calcium carbonate is difficult to digest and must be taken with food. On the other hand, citric calcium is more easily digestible and can be taken at any time during the day, even on an empty stomach.
This form is also recommended for people with low stomach acid levels (hypochlorhydria), the elderly, those taking acid secretion inhibitors (e.g. antacids) or those suffering from inflammatory bowel disorders.
One of the main reasons for women's low compliance with chronic treatment is local tolerance. Calcium carbonate can cause more gastrointestinal disorders, such as bloating, abdominal pain, gas formation and tendency to defecation, dyspepsia and constipation. On the other hand, citric calcium does not cause gas formation and has good tolerance.
Lactic calcium is also easily absorbed regardless of food and is suitable for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance.
Another concern about long-term calcium supplementation is the potential for kidney stone formation. Citric salts inhibit crystal formation, reduce stone formation and are used to treat and prevent stone formation in the kidneys.
Offers a ready combination of calcium and vitamin D.
The main function of vitamin D is to absorb calcium and phosphorus from the body. Even in a sunny country like Greece, statistics show that instead of an excess, we have a deficiency of this vitamin. Synosteo contains in each packet the recommended doses of calcium and vitamin D and is administered once a day, facilitating compliance.
Has a pleasant orange flavor
Contains vitamin K2
Not all products have the same characteristics and acceptable taste is very important especially in chronic treatments. The Synosteo has an orange flavor and is taken pleasantly 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.
Does not contain gluten and lactose.
Reduced likelihood of intolerance.
