Calcium is a mineral that helps to prevent and treat calcium shortage. It contains nutrients that are necessary for bone development and maintenance. It aids in the preservation of bone and dental health. By decreasing oxidative stress and consequently preventing inflammation, vitamin C slows the evolution of osteoarthritis. Vitamin C promotes the formation and maintenance of collagen and connective tissue. 

Collagen aids in the regeneration of cartilage (connective tissue), increasing bone strength and enhancing joint flexibility. Vitamin D3 keeps blood calcium and phosphorus levels stable, as well as bone mineralization. It is employed in the treatment and prevention of bone problems like as rickets and osteomalacia. It promotes calcium absorption, allowing for bone growth and repair. It also helps to keep cartilage in good condition. 

Magnesium promotes bone mineral density, lowering the incidence of bone fractures and osteoporosis. Zinc is a mineral that aids in normal skeletal development and bone homeostasis. Copper is a trace mineral that promotes bone formation, healing, and maintenance. Manganese is an excellent source for keeping joints and bones healthy. It protects cells from free radical damage.
