About Composition:
Calcium Carbonate-
Calcium carbonate is the chemical compound occurs in the form of calcium salt (CaCO3). It provides calcium and is used in the treatment of conditions such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and certain muscle disease (latent tetany). Calcium in body is necessary for strong bones, muscle contraction, nervous system and heart. Calcium carbonate also used as an antacid to provide relief against heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach.
Vitamin D3-
Calcitriol is an active metabolite of vitamin D. calcitriol is also known as vitamin d3. Calcitriol plays an essential role in regulating plasma calcium with parathyroid hormone (PTH) by increasing absorption of dietary calcium and prevents renal tubular secretion of calcium. In addition to promoting fatty acid synthesis and inhibiting lipolysis, calcitriol is mainly used as a medication in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism and resultant metabolic bone disease, hypocalcemia in patients undergoing chronic renal dialysis, and osteoporosis.
