Adcal-D3 Dissolve Effervescent 56 Tablets
Adcal-D3 Dissolve Effervescent Tablets are a convenient way to support healthy bones and teeth by supplementing your daily calcium and vitamin D intake. Designed for individuals who may not get enough calcium and vitamin D from their diet, these effervescent tablets dissolve easily in water to form a pleasant-tasting citrus solution. They help in the treatment and prevention of calcium and vitamin D deficiency, making them ideal for conditions like osteoporosis.
Each tablet contains two essential ingredients:
- 600mg of Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate)
- 400 IU of Vitamin D3 (as Colecalciferol)
These nutrients play a critical role in bone health by helping the body absorb calcium more efficiently and maintaining adequate calcium levels in the bloodstream.
