General Description

Calcitonin (8-32) (Salmon I) is a synthetic version of a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that helps regulate calcium levels in the body. It is often used to treat osteoporosis and related bone disorders by helping to increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures. This particular form of calcitonin is derived from salmon and is found to be more potent and longer-lasting than the human version. It works by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue, and promoting the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for building new bone. As a result, it helps to maintain the strength and structure of bones, particularly in individuals with bone density issues.
