How Zecal Tablet works
Zecal Active Tablet is a combination of three medicines: calcium citrate malate, vitamin D3, and folic acid. Calcium citrate malate is a water-soluble calcium supplement. It increases the plasma calcium levels. Vitamin D3 is a form of vitamin D. It raises vitamin D levels in your blood. This, in turn, raises calcium levels in your blood by helping you absorb more calcium from food. Folic acid is a form of vitamin B. It plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. It is also essential in pregnancy due to its role in the development of the unborn baby's brain and spinal cord.
