Ostocalcium Plus Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (400 IU): This ingredient is necessary for efficient calcium absorption from the intestines and normal bone mineralisation.

• Elemental Calcium (250 mg): This is a major constituent of bones and is crucial for bone matrix deposition and mineralisation.

Together, these components work as follows:

• Enhanced Calcium Absorption: Vitamin D's presence enhances calcium absorption in our bodies.

• Conversion and Action: Vitamin D is converted into its active metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D, in the kidneys. This metabolite acts on the intestines to increase the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

• Bone Mineral Mobilization: The metabolite, along with parathyroid hormone, also works on the bones, aiding in the mobilization of bone minerals.

• Include calcium-rich foods in your diet, such as milk, cheese, and leafy greens, to support the effectiveness of Ostocalcium Plus Tablet in maintaining healthy bones.
