Uses of MEXACAL
MEXACAL may be used as a calcium and mineral supplement when additional nutritional support is required. Its combination of calcium, vitamin D3, magnesium and zinc can support:
- Calcium supplementation and bone health
- Dietary support where calcium intake is inadequate
- Normal muscle and nerve function
- Vitamin D-supported calcium absorption
- Magnesium and zinc nutritional requirements
- General mineral supplementation when recommended by a healthcare professional
Calcium forms an important part of the structure of bones and teeth. It also supports normal muscle movement and nerve transmission. In addition, vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium.
Key Benefits of MEXACAL
- Bone Health: Calcium supports the structure and maintenance of bones and teeth.
- Improved Calcium Absorption: Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium from the digestive tract.
- Muscle & Nerve Support: Calcium and magnesium contribute to normal muscle and nerve function.
- Mineral Support: Magnesium and zinc provide additional nutritional support for normal body functions.
- Immune & Tissue Support: Zinc plays a role in immune function and helps maintain tissue integrity.
- Convenient Combination: Multiple nutrients are provided in one tablet for convenient supplementation.
How MEXACAL Works
MEXACAL supplies four nutritional ingredients that work through different roles in the body.
Calcium Citrate provides calcium, which forms a major structural component of bones and teeth. Calcium also participates in muscle contraction and nerve transmission.
Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption in the intestine. Therefore, adequate vitamin D helps the body use calcium effectively.
Magnesium Hydroxide supplies magnesium, a mineral involved in muscle and nerve function and numerous enzyme systems. Magnesium also contributes to bone-related processes.
Zinc Sulphate provides zinc, which supports normal cellular metabolism, immune function and tissue integrity.
Common Side Effects of MEXACAL
Some people may experience mild digestive symptoms while taking calcium or mineral supplements, such as:
- Constipation
- Gas or bloating
- Nausea
- Stomach discomfort
- Diarrhea, particularly with higher magnesium intake
Calcium supplements can cause gastrointestinal symptoms in some individuals, while higher supplemental magnesium intake may cause diarrhea, nausea or abdominal cramping.
If symptoms continue or become troublesome, consult a healthcare professional.

- Tell your healthcare professional if you have kidney disease, kidney stones, high calcium levels or other mineral-balance problems.
- Calcium, magnesium and zinc supplements can interfere with the absorption of certain medicines. For example, calcium can reduce the absorption of some quinolone antibiotics and levothyroxine when taken too closely together.
- Zinc can also interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics, including quinolones and tetracyclines.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use nutritional supplements according to professional advice.
- Keep the product away from children and use it only as directed.
For more information about calcium and mineral supplementation, refer to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements – Calcium Fact Sheet.
Dosage & Administration
Take MEXACAL in the dose recommended by a healthcare professional or according to the product directions.
Because calcium absorption can decrease as the amount taken at one time increases, healthcare professionals may recommend dividing larger daily calcium amounts into separate doses.
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
Storage
