This is the combination of Calcium Phosphate and Vitamin D3. Calcium is absorbed in the intestine which then passes through the intestine to blood & deposited into bone. Active transport through cell is dependent on Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 keeps bones healthy by increasing the absorption of Calcium in the intestines. Without Vitamin D3 body will be able to absorb only 10% to 15% of the Calcium from the diet.
