• Eat calcium-rich foods: To help Fosamin Softgel Capsule 8's work effectively, include dairy products, leafy green vegetables, and fortified foods in your daily diet.
• Get safe sun exposure: Spend 10 to 15 minutes in midday sunlight a few times a week, if safe for your skin, to help your body produce natural vitamin D.
