It is used to treat osteoporosis, osteomalacia, and post-menopausal osteoporosis. It is particularly helpful in treating calcium and Vitamin D3 deficiency. It improves the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby providing nutrients for bone health and maintenance. It also increases bone density by facilitating the absorption of calcium in the intestine.

This tablet has calcium and Vitamin D as key ingredients along with Vitamin B5 (as Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate), Vitamin B9 (as L-Methylfolate Calcium), and Vitamin B12 (as Mecobalamin). Calcium is most commonly associated with the formation and metabolism of bone. The presence of Vitamin D3, a fat-soluble vitamin, helps the gut to absorb calcium from food. It also helps the body to maintain adequate levels of two minerals essential for bone health, calcium and phosphorus. This further enables the body to preserve bone health.

It is advised to maintain the level of calcium and Vitamin D3 in the body for proper bone health. Do not take more than the recommended dose as it may lead to various side effects which can include excessive loss of calcium from the bones. If you have any doubt or wish to know the dose, consult your doctor before taking it.
