How ZXCAL-CT Works
Calcitriol is the biologically active form of Vitamin D. It helps regulate calcium and phosphate metabolism and supports calcium absorption.
Calcium Citrate Malate supplies calcium, which forms an important structural component of bones and teeth. Calcium also contributes to normal muscle contraction, nerve transmission and blood clotting.
Zinc is an essential mineral involved in numerous physiological processes, including immune function, protein synthesis and DNA synthesis.
Magnesium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function and participates in many biochemical reactions.
Because the formulation contains calcitriol, its use differs from a routine low-dose Vitamin D nutritional supplement and should follow professional medical advice.
Common Side Effects of ZXCAL-CT
Some individuals may experience:
- Nausea
- Stomach discomfort
- Constipation
- Abdominal discomfort
- Loss of appetite
- Headache
- Increased thirst or urination
Excessive calcium or calcitriol exposure can cause hypercalcemia and related complications. Therefore, do not take additional calcium or Vitamin D products unless advised by a healthcare professional.
