Calcium Citrate Malate + Calcitriol

Introduction

Calcium Citrate Malate + Calcitriol is a combination supplement used to maintain healthy bones and teeth by improving calcium absorption in the body. It is commonly prescribed to treat or prevent conditions related to calcium and vitamin D deficiency, such as osteoporosis, rickets, and hypoparathyroidism. This composition supports bone strength, reduces fracture risk, and aids in proper muscle function. It is suitable for both adults and the elderly, especially those at higher risk of calcium deficiency. Regular use, as advised by a doctor, can help ensure optimal bone density and overall skeletal health.

Uses of Calcium Citrate Malate + Calcitriol

• Treatment and prevention of calcium and Vitamin D3 deficiency
• Osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones)
• Osteomalacia and rickets (soft bones due to Vitamin D deficiency)
• Bone weakness after menopause
• Supportive therapy in fractures and bone healing
• Hypocalcemia (low calcium levels in blood)
• Helps improve bone strength in elderly patients

How Calcium Citrate Malate + Calcitriol Works

Calcium Citrate Malate provides elemental calcium to the body, which is necessary for strong bones, teeth, and proper muscle functioning. Calcitriol (active Vitamin D3) increases the absorption of calcium from the intestine and helps maintain balanced calcium and phosphate levels. Together, they improve bone mineral density, reduce calcium loss from bones, and support normal bone formation. This combination is especially helpful when the body is unable to absorb calcium properly due to Vitamin D deficiency.
