Dear Pratik,
It means two tablets together yield Cal 800 and so on ... Yes Osteocare is brand name, its just famous in my town thats it. You may select that gives you required cal/mag levels and suits your pocket :wink . i will never buy osteocare for this much if I were in my country :biggrin

dear andy...
Thanks a lot for the related information that i have been searchin for.
i have a thal patient daughter, she was diagnose at the age of 2 and now she was already 4 year old, we already undergone 3 time blood transfusion since tha last time she was diagnose and the last transfusion was just last june 2012, and i feel that her situation was getting worst since we dont know exactly what foods or diet should we let her to eat. since she was still at her very young age, its very difficult to control her diet.
is there anything or any ways you can suggest on how we can manage her health situation before its too late...

Hello Wacon, welcome to thalpal. I assume your daughter is Thal minor?
nurhikmah:
Hi everyone..need ur opinion here..my name is Nur, Hbe Beta Thalassaemia, transfusing every 2 month and now on L1 and desferal. Is that correct pure marine collagen has high level of iron and thalassaemic should avoid it? How can we take collagen supplement without iron? And can thalassaemic wear corset for beauty and weight purpose?Thanks.
Andy Battaglia:
I don't think that collagen is high in iron. Iron is not listed as a nutrient in the various collagen products I have seen for sale. I doubt iron is a concern.
As far as corsets, it is OK to wear as long as they don't endanger the rib bones. If your bones are particularly weak, caution should be taken.
