How it Works?

Calcinux 500 Tablet comprises two active components:

• Elemental Calcium (500 mg): This essential mineral replenishes low blood calcium levels and provides the building blocks for bone mineralisation, a process by which minerals reinforce bone tissue.

• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) (250 IU): In the body, Vitamin D3 is metabolised into calcitriol, an active form that enhances intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, vital for bone health. It also reduces renal calcium excretion, maintaining adequate calcium levels within the body.
