How GEMcal Suspension works
GEMcal Suspension is a combination of calcitriol and calcium. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D. It increases the absorption of calcium from the intestine and helps regulate calcium and phosphate balance in the body. Calcium, when supplied along with calcitriol, directly contributes to building and maintaining bone structure. It improves calcium absorption and ensures proper calcium availability. This medicine helps maintain strong bones, supports normal muscle activity, and keeps other body functions that depend on calcium in balance.
