Eggshell Calcium + Vitamin D3

Eggshell Calcium + Vitamin D3 is a combination of calcium carbonate from European eggshell source and cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Eggshell calcium is 100% natural, highly digestible (98%), more absorbable and environment-friendly. Calcium is necessary for normal functioning of bone, nerve cells, muscle and other organs. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium. Used for osteoporosis, osteomalacia, osteopenia, rickets, hypoparathyroidism and latent tetany. Recommended dose: one tablet in the morning and one tablet at night. Contraindicated in hypercalcemia, hyperparathyroidism and severe renal insufficiency.

• Osteoporosis (bone loss)
• Osteomalacia (weak bones)
• Osteopenia
• Rickets
• Hypoparathyroidism (decreased parathyroid gland activity)
• Latent tetany

Calcium plays a very important role in the body. It is necessary for normal functioning of bone, nerve cells, muscle, and other vital organs. If there is not enough calcium in the blood, the body will take calcium from bones, weakening bones and triggering bone disorders. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium.

Calcium is essential for bone formation and Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption. This combination enriches the organic matrix of bones and increases bone density.

Adult Dose: One tablet in the morning and one tablet at night, or as directed by the physician.
