SHELCAL CT TAB

About

Shelcal CT Tab is a comprehensive nutritional supplement formulated to address deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D, crucial for maintaining optimal bone health and various physiological functions. It combines calcium carbonate, a primary source of elemental calcium, with vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and calcitriol, the active hormonal form of vitamin D. Calcium is fundamental for skeletal integrity, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and blood coagulation. Vitamin D3 facilitates the absorption of dietary calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and its subsequent incorporation into bone tissue. Calcitriol further amplifies calcium and phosphate absorption, directly regulating bone mineralization and remodeling processes. This synergistic combination is particularly beneficial in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, osteomalacia, rickets, and other conditions characterized by compromised bone density or mineral imbalances.
