Viactiv Calcium Plus Vitamin D Supplement Soft Chews, Caramel, 100 Count

What's In Viactiv?

The Bone Builder

650mg Calcium per chew (50% Daily Value)

Aside from building strong bones, your body needs calcium to handle other important tasks: to move muscles, send messages through the nervous system, help release hormones and enzymes, and circulate blood*.

Your body can't make calcium, so it absorbs it from your diet and from supplements, then stores it. From childhood through your teen years, you build up your calcium stores until you reach your peak bone mass; you then stop increasing your calcium stores and start maintaining them. That's why getting calcium early on and throughout your life is so important.

The Calcium Absorber

12.5mcg (500 IU) Vitamin D3 (63% Daily Value)

Before calcium can do its job, it has to be absorbed by your body - and that's where vitamin D comes in. Vitamin D regulates calcium absorption in the body, maintains calcium and phosphate levels, and promotes bone growth*.

Your body produces vitamin D when your bare skin is exposed to sunshine - specifically ultraviolet B rays - making vitamin D known as 'The Sunshine Vitamin'. While sunshine and a healthy diet are key to vitamin D, getting enough isn't easy. Some reasons include spending more time indoors and wearing sunscreen that blocks UVB rays

The Bone Protector

40mcg of Vitamin K (33% Daily Value)

Vitamin K plays an important role in bone health.

Vitamin K partners with vitamin D to boost calcium absorption, affect calcium balance and increase bone mineral density - helping your body absorb osteocalcin*, a protein that studies show may be essential for protecting bones from fractures.

Note: If you're on blood-thinning medications, be sure to talk to your doctor before taking Viactiv Calcium plus D.
