Urticalcin is a preparation containing Urtica, calcium and silica. It is especially useful where there is a lack of calcium absorption, as it promotes absorption of calcium into bones and teeth. If desired it can be safely taken alongside calcium supplements. Alfred Vogel used to create Urticalcin by hand, mixing the ingredients to the correct consistency before hand-pressing the tablets. The demand was such that he soon had to develop a machine to carry out this laborious task for him while maintaining the quality of this most useful mixture. What is it used for? – Strengthens bones, hair and nails – Aids recovery after bone fractures – Improves teeth development in children – Osteoporosis – Menopause
