Vitabell is a pioneer in scientific research among British health care product companies, it has cooperated with many British universities such as Oxford University, has a number of clinical trials, became the first health product company to win the Queen's Technology Innovation Award in 2013, and topped the British vitamin sales list in the same year, and the development momentum is unstoppable. It was named Vitamin Supplier of the Year four times in 2002-2005 by Boots, Europe's largest pharmacy chain, and its products are sold in more than 100 countries. In April 2017, Vitabell entered China, because the propaganda was unified as "calcium supplementation during pregnancy", although the price is not low, it has also gained a considerable market.
 
Vitabell has no less than 20 product lines, of which Osteocare specializes in calcium supplements, all of which are based on calcium carbonate as a calcium source, for all ages, and are developed with the assistance of the International Osteoporosis Association. Pregnacare also has calcium-related products, but the focus is on DHA, folic acid and other ingredients, mainly for women before, during and after pregnancy, so I will not focus on them here.
 
With Vitabel supplementing nutrients in one step, Osteocare contains at least 3 minerals per calcium supplement, which increases the cost. Osteocare Chewable, Osteocare Plus and Osteocare Fizz contain 6 minerals including calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium, and Osteocare Plus also adds ammonia sugar and chondroitin, and the daily calcium supplement cost of each is not less than 4 yuan. Ammonia sugar and chondroitin appear in health care products for the maintenance of joints, but their benefits have not yet been clarified, because there is no obvious toxic side effects, it is allowed to be eaten as a supplement, and people with seafood allergies should use ammonia sugar supplements with caution.
 
Compared to the above tablet products, the easily absorbed Osteocare Liquid Liquid Calcium is more popular, containing calcium, magnesium and zinc, and vitamin D absorption to meet the growth needs of children. The recommended daily dosage is 20ml (600mg calcium) for adults and 10-20ml for children. Calcium carbonate liquid calcium is not as well absorbed as ChildLife's calcium citrate, but Osteocare Liquid adds cane sugar, orange oil and peppermint oil to adjust the taste, which is slightly sweet and creamy, but has good feedback in children.
 
Based on 20ml per day, the daily cost of calcium supplementation of Osteocare Liquid is about 4 yuan, which is a low cost performance, and is a means for parents with sufficient budgets to let their children comply with calcium supplementation. Osteocare Original is the tablet version of Osteocare Liquid, the recommended daily dosage is 200mg higher, which is more reasonable, and the daily calcium supplement cost is about 2.8 yuan, which is still high compared with other brands.
