Helps build bone health harmoniously

The evidence of effectiveness for calcitonin-salmon, the active ingredient in Fortical® Nasal Spray, is based on increases in spinal bone mineral density (BMD) observed in clinical studies.

Additional clinical studies have compared the effects of calcitonin-salmon to placebo in postmenopausal women with low bone mass who were also taking calcium. Results from these studies have shown that calcitonin-salmon:

  • Reduced the risk of new spinal fractures by 33%*1

  • Promoted good bone quality2

  • Reduced the risk of bone loss by 81%3
