Bone health
mcal®
Osteoporosis Canada informs us that barely 10%* of adults over 50 consume enough calcium in their diet. That is why mcal offers a complete range of calcium supplements, available with or without vitamin D and in tablet (carbonate) or liquid (citrate) form. Over the years, our family of supplements has proven its effectiveness, and it continues to evolve.
