Cal 123 Tablet

Cal 123 Tablet belongs to the class of nutritional supplements used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who cannot get sufficient calcium from their diets. Cal 123 Tablet effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones) and hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels).

Cal 123 Tablet contains Calcium citrate, calcium aspartate, calcium orotate, and vitamin D3. Calcium supplements are used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. They provide essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 helps the body to absorb calcium.  Thereby, it increases calcium levels in the blood and helps to build and maintain strong bones.

Prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency

Cal 123 Tablet contains Calcium citrate, calcium aspartate, calcium orotate and vitamin D3. Calcium citrate is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency by maintaining calcium levels in the blood. Calcium aspartate promotes strong bones and teeth. It delays the decaying of bones associated with osteoporosis and fibromyalgia (widespread muscle pain and tenderness). Calcium orotate works by decreasing parathyroid gland activity and certain muscle diseases. It ensures calcium delivery in bones and cartilage tissues. Vitamin D3 helps the body to absorb calcium.  Thereby, it increases calcium levels in the blood and helps to build and maintain strong bones.

Take Cal 123 Tablet as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew or break it.

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and brittle bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Breaking a bone is a severe complication of osteoporosis, especially in older patients. Women are much more likely to develop osteoporosis than men. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.

Osteomalacia/Rickets: Rickets is a bone disease caused by softening and weakening bones in children due to inadequate vitamin D. Adults can experience a similar condition known as osteomalacia. It causes bone pain, poor growth, and soft, weak bones that can lead to bone deformities.

Hypoparathyroidism: It is a disease characterized by low levels of parathyroid hormone. This can cause low calcium levels and trigger tetany.

Tetany: A disease condition due to low levels of calcium (hypocalcemia) in the body which causes cramps and spasms in the hands, feet, and larynx (voice box).
