Fosavance 70mg/5600iu Tablet 4 contains two active ingredients that work together to improve bone health:

• Alendronate (70 mg): This component belongs to the bisphosphonate class and works by attaching to bone surfaces. It inhibits osteoclasts (cells that break down bone), which helps shift the balance towards bone formation rather than bone loss.

• Vitamin D3 (5600 IU): This essential vitamin enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphate from your intestines. It ensures there are adequate minerals available for bone formation and maintenance, while also directly influencing bone cells.
