Calcium Carbonate [Eggshell source] + Vitamin D3

Each film-coated tablet contains Calcium Carbonate obtained from European eggshell source and Vitamin D3. The calcium from eggshell is 100% natural, highly digestible (98%), more absorbable, and contains small amounts of essential salts and minerals for bone development including Magnesium, Phosphorus & Strontium. It has a higher absorption rate than algae, coral, or rock-based calcium.

Bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia, osteopenia), rickets, hypoparathyroidism, latent tetany, ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D3 during pregnancy and lactation, post-menopausal osteoporosis, senile osteoporosis, drug-induced osteoporosis (Phenytoin, Phenobarbital, Prednisolone).

Specific mineral & vitamin combined preparations

Calcium supplement + Vitamin D3

Calcium is essential for normal functioning of bones, nerve cells, muscles, and other vital organs. If blood calcium is inadequate, the body will take calcium from bones, weakening them and triggering bone disorders. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium. Eggshell calcium contains soluble transport proteins for maximum absorption compared with other calcium sources.

Calcium helps maintain bone mineralization and density and ensures normal nerve and muscle function. Vitamin D3 increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. The combined action supports bone formation, increases bone density and prevents fractures. Eggshell calcium has a higher absorption rate than algae, coral, or rock-based calcium.

Adults: One tablet in the morning and one tablet at night or as directed by the physician. Use in children and adolescents should be directed by the physician.

Can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew or crush.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Common side effects: Generally eggshell calcium is safe for long-term use without causing any GI discomfort or constipation. Rare side effects: Kidney stones, hypercalcemia, alkalosis, loss of appetite.

Discontinue if hypercalcemia occurs. Patients with a history of kidney stones should increase fluid intake.

Hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism, hypercalciuria and nephrolithiasis, severe renal insufficiency, hypersensitivity to any component, concomitant digoxin therapy (requires careful serum calcium monitoring).

Digoxin: calcium may increase effects; serum calcium monitoring required. May interact with antacids containing calcium, aluminum or magnesium, other calcium supplements, calcitriol, tetracycline, doxycycline, aminocycline or oxytetracycline. Consult physician before use with these drugs.

Certain foods (e.g., spinach, milk and milk products) may reduce intestinal calcium uptake.

Use as directed by the physician during pregnancy.

Pregnancy Category: C — always consult a doctor before taking during pregnancy.

Use as directed by the physician during lactation.

Use in children and adolescents should be directed by the physician.

Elderly patients (especially homebound) have higher risk of calcium and vitamin D deficiency, making this supplement particularly beneficial.

Contraindicated in severe renal insufficiency. Caution required in patients with history of kidney stones.

Symptoms of overdose: nausea and vomiting, dry mouth, loss of appetite, metallic taste, diarrhea, weakness, headache, irritability or dizziness.

Store below 30°C in a cool and dry place, away from light. Keep out of reach of children.
