Description
Calzowel K7 Tablet/Softgel is a nutritional supplement designed to support bone and joint health, prevent fractures, and address calcium and vitamin deficiencies.
Uses / Indications
-
Treatment and prevention of osteoporosis (weak, brittle bones) and bone mineral loss
-
Correction of calcium and vitamin D deficiencies

Enhancing bone mineralization and density in postmenopausal women, elderly, people at risk of fracture, and during periods of rapid bone growth

How it Works / Key Benefits
-
Calcium Carbonate: Provides elemental calcium, essential for bone strength, teeth, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, and other metabolic processes.
-
Calcitriol: The active form of vitamin D3, enhances calcium and phosphate absorption from the gut, ensures proper utilization of calcium for strong bones, and regulates bone mineralization.
-
Vitamin K7 (Menaquinone-7): Supports optimal bone metabolism by activating osteocalcin, which helps incorporate calcium into the bone matrix, thus improving bone density and reducing the risk of arterial calcification.
Dosage & Administration
-
Take by mouth, once daily or as prescribed by a physician.
-
Swallow whole with water, with or without food; maintain a consistent routine for best results.
Safety & Precautions
-
Well tolerated in most; mild side effects may include GI upset (constipation, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort) or rarely, allergic reactions.
-
Use with caution in severe kidney impairment, sarcoidosis, or hypercalcemia (high blood calcium), or with medications that alter calcium/vitamin D or vitamin K metabolism.
-
Not to be used if allergic to any of its components.
-
Consult the doctor if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on anticoagulants (blood thinners), as vitamin K can interact with these medicines.
Note:
Calzowel K7 is best used as part of a comprehensive bone health plan with diet, weight-bearing exercise, and adequate sunlight. Avoid self-medicating or overdosing. Always follow your doctor’s advice regarding supplements and medicine combinations.
