Ingredients explained
Calcium (from oyster shell)
Calcium provides the mineral building blocks for bones and teeth and plays key roles in muscle contraction and nerve signaling.
Caution: Take with food to improve tolerance; high intakes may cause constipation or interact with certain minerals if taken together.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 supports intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and helps regulate calcium balance in the body.
Caution: Avoid combining with high-dose vitamin D supplements unless advised, as excessive intake may raise blood calcium levels.
How they work together
Calcium supplies the structural mineral for bones, while vitamin D3 helps the intestine absorb calcium more effectively and supports proper calcium balance. Together they address both supply of the mineral and the body’s ability to use it.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, have a medical condition, or are planning a medical procedure. Stop use and contact a physician if adverse reactions occur. Individual results may vary.
Who should be cautious: People with shellfish allergies should avoid this product due to oyster shell. Those taking thyroid medications, tetracyclines, or fluoroquinolone antibiotics may need to separate dosing because calcium may reduce absorption.
