Calcium decreases the rate of bone loss from the femoral neck, the spine and the total body. Since calcium is a nutrient, not a drug, the positive effects of supplemental calcium are most pronounced among women with low to moderate calcium intake. Vitamin D3 helps the body to absorb calcium which helps to reduce age-related bone loss and bone fractures related to osteoporosis. Magnesium helps the body to absorb both calcium and vitamin D3. It also helps to synthesize proteins. Low magnesium status has been associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The trace minerals Zinc, Copper and Manganese all play a role in bone development. Zinc is a part of an antioxidant enzyme that helps to prevent cellular destruction, which can cause problems with bone growth and maturation. Copper keeps bones free from thinning. Fifty percent of the total copper content in the body is in the bones and muscles. Manganese, in combination with other trace minerals, helps to prevent bone loss and osteoporosis. Boron works with magnesium and vitamin D3 to enhance calcium absorption and helps to maintain calcium levels in the body. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant. It is also essential for the formation of collagen and aids in iron absorption. Vitamin E serves as an antioxidant, protects biological membranes and stabilizes cellular functions.

Uses

This combination is used to maintain strong bones and teeth as well as the health of the muscles and nerves. It is also used for the prevention & treatment of osteoporosis & post-menopausal osteoporosis. It is needed for bone development and constant regeneration of bone as well.

Calbon Plus is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Calcium Deficiency, Deficiency, Vitamin D, Osteodystrophy, Osteomalacia, Osteoporosis, Chronic Hypocalcemia, Chronic Hypocalcemia caused by anticonvulsant medications, Care of the Joint, Mineral supplementation, Nutritional supplementation

How Calbon Plus works

Calcium plays a vital role in the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of organisms and of the cell, particularly in signal transduction pathways. More than 500 human proteins are known to bind or transport calcium. The skeleton acts as a major mineral storage site for the element and releases Ca2+ ions into the bloodstream under controlled conditions. Circulating calcium is either in the free, ionized form or bound to blood proteins such as serum albumin. Parathyroid hormone (secreted from the parathyroid gland) regulates the resorption of Ca2+ from bone. Calcitonin stimulates incorporation of calcium in bone, although this process is largely independent of calcitonin. Although calcium flow to and from the bone is neutral, about 5 mmol is turned over a day. Bone serves as an important storage point for calcium, as it contains 99% of the total body calcium. Low calcium intake may also be a risk factor in the development of osteoporosis. The best-absorbed form of calcium from a pill is a calcium salt like carbonate or phosphate. Calcium gluconate and calcium lactate are absorbed well by pregnant women. Seniors absorb calcium lactate, gluconate and citrate better unless they take their calcium supplement with a full breakfast. The currently recommended calcium intake is 1,500 milligrams per day for women not taking estrogen and 800 milligrams per day for women on estrogen. There is close to 300 milligrams of calcium in one cup of fluid milk. Calcium carbonate is currently the best and least expensive form of calcium supplement available.

Dosage

Calbon Plus dosage

2 tablets per day, preferably 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the evening or as directed by the physician.

Side Effects

Calcium salts may cause mild gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation, flatulence, nausea, abdominal pain & bloating. Hypercalcaemia & in rare cases hypercalciuria have been seen with long term intake of calcium at high doses. Side effects from micronutrients are rare.

Precaution

If there is any pre-existing heart disease or kidney disease, precautions should be taken.

Interaction

The risk of hypercalcaemia is increased if calcium salts are given with thiazide diuretics as these drugs reduce urinary calcium excretion. The effects of digitalis glycosides on the heart are enhanced by calcium. Calcium salts may reduce the absorption of fluoride, some fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines and iron.

Elimination Route

The kidney excretes 250 mmol a day in urine, and resorbs 245 mmol, leading to a net loss in the urine of 5 mmol/d.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Recommended in pregnancy and lactation.

Contraindication

Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Periodic checks of plasma calcium levels and urinary calcium excretion should be made in patients with mild to moderate renal failure or mild hypercalciuria.

Special Warning

Data is insufficient regarding use in children.

Acute Overdose

Symptoms of overdose may include nausea and vomiting, severe drowsiness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, metalic taste, stomach cramps, unconsciousness, diarrhoea, weakness, headache, constipation, dizziness or irritability.
