Nutritional Deficiency

Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not receive or properly absorb sufficient nutrients to meet its normal requirements.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak and fragile due to reduced bone density, increasing the risk of fractures.

Osteomalacia/Rickets

Osteomalacia and rickets are bone disorders associated with inadequate vitamin D, leading to soft, weak, and poorly mineralized bones. Rickets primarily affects children, while osteomalacia occurs mainly in adults.

Tetany

Tetany is a condition commonly associated with low blood calcium levels (hypocalcaemia), which may cause involuntary muscle cramps and spasms, particularly in the hands, feet, and voice box.

Hypoparathyroidism

Hypoparathyroidism occurs when the parathyroid glands produce insufficient parathyroid hormone, which can result in low calcium levels and may lead to symptoms of tetany.

Elemental Calcium + Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2-7

Elemental Calcium + Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2-7 is an oral nutritional supplement formulated to provide essential nutrients that support healthy bones and help prevent or manage calcium and vitamin deficiencies. It may be recommended for people with inadequate dietary intake of calcium, vitamin D, or vitamin K, as well as those requiring additional nutritional support for bone health.

For optimal benefit, take the supplement regularly as directed by your healthcare professional. Taking it after meals may help improve absorption and reduce stomach discomfort. A balanced diet containing adequate minerals and regular weight-bearing or strength-building exercise can also contribute to maintaining bone strength.

Most people tolerate the supplement well, although mild digestive problems such as constipation, gas, bloating, or stomach discomfort may occur. Symptoms such as excessive thirst, severe nausea, unusual tiredness, confusion, or increased urination may indicate excessively high calcium levels and require prompt medical attention.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney stones, kidney disease, heart problems, or abnormal calcium levels. It may not be suitable for people with high calcium levels in the blood or urine. Certain medicines, including some antibiotics and thyroid medicines, may interact with calcium supplements, so appropriate spacing between doses may be necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and older adults should consult their healthcare provider before use.
