Homeopathic Medicinal Products

Homeopathy has been practiced for more than 200 years. Homeopathy is based on the law of similars, or "like-cures-like", and was discovered by Dr Samuel Hahnemann, a German scholar and a physician, in year 1801.  The term "Homeopathic" is the practice of Homeopathy.

In year 1801, Dr Hahnemann discovered that when he treated a child with scarlet fever with a homeopathic remedy, the child did not get scarlet fever. The children who did not receive homeopathic remedy got scarlet fever. 

[Related: A-Z Homeopathic Remedies]

Homopathic medicines relies on the law that body energy can develop resistance to a disease or a condition by recognizing a minute amount of the element which causes it. The body then develops its own natural defence and begins to balance and heal itself. 

The amount of the active ingredient or the element which is introduced in the body is extremely small and is very safe.

Homeopathic medicine is non-invasive and prepared from natural plants and elements.

Osteocare For Healthy Bones

Osteocare has been developed using the latest scientific knowledge to provide a rich source of calcium and co-factors including vitamin D which helps with the normal absorption of calcium by the body.  This special formulation helps to maintain healthy bones in men and women of all ages.

Osteocare® contains the preferred D3 form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that is produced by the skin on exposure to sunlight. 

Vitamin D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D because it is the specific form made in the human body and therefore more effective than D2 which is found in some supplements.

It is important to select a calcium supplement such as Osteocare® , which includes calcium in combination with other synergistic co-factors such as magnesium. The presence of the mineral magnesium, as well as contributing to the maintenance of normal bones, also contributes to normal protein synthesis and electrolyte balance.
