How Calvine Tablet works
Calvine-CT Tablet is a mixture of zinc, calcitriol, and calcium citrate. Calcium, which is necessary for bone mineralisation and strength, is directly provided by calcium citrate. The active form of vitamin D3, calcitriol, improves intestinal absorption of calcium and aids in maintaining the body's calcium balance. By promoting collagen synthesis and bone cell activity, zinc contributes to the development and repair of bone tissue. They cooperate to preserve bone mass and stop osteoporosis from getting worse.
