Why have I been prescribed Accrete-D3?

Most of the calcium in your body is in your bones.3 Your body doesn’t make this calcium. Instead, it comes from the food you eat, especially dairy products.1 As well as building bones, calcium also helps your muscles and heart to work properly.3 If you do not have enough calcium in your diet, your body takes what it needs from your bones.3 Over time, this can make your bones weaker.

Unlike calcium, very few foods naturally contain vitamin D. Instead, your body makes its own when your skin is exposed to sun.13 Vitamin D not only aids in calcium absorption to keep your bones healthy but also strengthens your muscles, which can improve your balance and lower the chance of falls and broken bones.13 How much vitamin D your skin makes depends on things like how much time you spend outside, what time of year it is and whether you are wearing sunscreen.14 As we age, our skin loses its ability to generate vitamin D so many older people will not make enough for their bodies’ needs.15

If you have low amounts of calcium and vitamin D in your body, or if you have broken a bone after a fall, you might have osteoporosis or be at risk of fractures in the future. Accrete-D3 can help your body to maintain healthy levels of both calcium and vitamin D.1
