Calgel Capsule is a nutritional supplement manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., used to treat nutritional deficiencies and support bone and nerve health. It contains a combination of calcium, vitamin D3, and zinc.
Key Ingredients
The primary active ingredients in Calgel Soft Gelatin Capsule are:
- Calcium Carbonate (500 mg): A vital mineral necessary for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth, and essential for normal nerve and muscle function.
- Calcitriol (0.25 mcg): The active form of Vitamin D3, which helps the body effectively absorb calcium from the intestines and maintain adequate blood calcium levels.
- Zinc (as Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate, 7.5 mg): An essential trace mineral that supports immune function, protein synthesis, and helps in the proper functioning of enzymes in the body. Supplementary zinc can improve calcitriol response and help arrest bone loss.
Uses and Benefits
- Bone Health: The capsule increases bone strength and mineral content, helping to prevent conditions like osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia (softening of bones), and rickets.
- Calcium Deficiency Management: Prescribed for individuals with low blood calcium levels, ensuring the body has sufficient calcium for critical metabolic functions.
- Nerve and Muscle Function: Calcium is important for the normal functioning of nerves, cells, and muscles.
- Immune System Support: Zinc helps boost immunity and promotes the growth and repair of body tissues.
