Gelcal 400mg Capsule

Gelcal capsule is a combination of essential nutritional elements designed to support bone health. It contains key bone-strengthening nutrients, including Calcium, active Vitamin D (Calcitriol), and Zinc. This combination helps increase bone strength, maintain bone density, and is particularly beneficial for individuals with osteopenia or osteoporosis, conditions that cause weak and brittle bones due to low bone mineral density.

Gelcal capsule is especially useful when bone loss occurs due to age-related kidney function decline, which reduces active Vitamin D levels. It can be taken with or without food as directed by a healthcare professional and is suitable to use alongside Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) treatments.
