Adcal-D3 Chewable Tablets Fruit Flavoured
Adcal-D3 is a dietary supplement containing calcium and vitamin D3 for those needing to increase their calcium and vitamin D levels, for example those with osteoporosis, osteomalacia (softening of the bone), or vitamin D and calcium deficiency. It can also be advised during pregnancy.
Calcium supplements may be recommended at stages in your life when your calcium requirement increases, e.g. during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or with advancing age (after the menopause in women), to prevent calcium deficiency. A calcium intake that is twice the recommended daily allowance (RDA) may slow the rate of bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures.
Adcal-D3 also contains Vitamin D3. Vitamin D is needed for calcium to be absorbed from the gut - a deficiency can lead to low calcium levels, even if you are getting enough calcium from your diet, which can subsequently lead to a weakening of the bones. Vitamin D3 is primarily obtained from sunlight on the skin, so a supplement is especially useful for those are housebound and the elderly who have reduced mobility.
Directions
To be taken orally.
