Supracal ISO Tablet 15's

Supracal ISO Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called dietary supplements. It is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It may also be used to relieve other menopausal symptoms. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a medical condition that causes thinning and weakening of the bones during/after a menopausal period.

Supracal ISO Tablet consists of Calcitriol (vitamin D3), Calcium citrate (mineral), and Soy isoflavones. Calcitriol is a man-made form of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the stomach. Calcium citrate is a mineral used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Soy isoflavones prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis and improve bone strength.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis: Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a medical disorder that causes bone loss and weakness during and after menopause. Estrogen insufficiency increases the risk of developing osteoporosis (weak bones). The decline in oestrogen during the menopause era (45 years of age) causes more bone resorption (osteoclasts; bone disintegration) than creation (osteoblasts; new bone development), leading to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis has no symptoms in the early stages. Yet, if sufficient care is not given, it might result in shattered bones. The bones do not pain at first, and breaks in the spine's bones may go unnoticed until they cause height reduction. Bones with osteoporosis might shatter at any time, even during normal tasks such as lifting or small activities.
