Cal D3 Calcium & Vitamin D3 Supplement
Cal D3 is a therapeutic mineral and vitamin supplement formulated to support bone health and overall wellness. Manufactured by Laborate Pharmaceuticals and distributed in Nigeria by Embassy Pharmaceutical & Chemicals Ltd, it provides a balanced combination of Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol).
Uses and Benefits
Cal D3 is primarily used to manage conditions where the body requires additional calcium and vitamin D. Its benefits include:
- Bone Strength: Essential for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and osteomalacia (softening of bones).
- Deficiency Management: Treats low blood calcium levels in people who do not get enough calcium from their diets.
- Support during Pregnancy: Provides vital nutrients required during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Elderly Care: Helps reduce the risk of bone fractures in older adults.
How it Works
Calcium is vital for many functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb the calcium effectively. Without enough Vitamin D3, your body cannot benefit fully from calcium intake.
Dosage and Administration
For adults, the typical dose is one tablet daily, preferably taken with a meal to enhance absorption. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor or the dosage indicated on the packaging.
Safety Information
Cal D3 is generally well-tolerated. However, individuals with kidney stones, high calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia), or severe kidney disease should consult a doctor before use. If you experience any unusual side effects, contact a healthcare professional or speak with a GoMed pharmacist.
