Supercal Z 30 Tablets

Calcium, Zinc, and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) work synergistically in this tablet formulation to support bone health and overall well-being. Calcium is essential for the maintenance and development of strong bones and teeth. It plays a crucial role in bone mineralization, where it is deposited into the bone matrix, enhancing bone strength and structure. Zinc, on the other hand, acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in bone formation and mineralization, promoting proper bone development and maintenance. Cholecalciferol, or Vitamin D3, is vital for calcium homeostasis. It facilitates calcium absorption in the intestines, ensuring that adequate amounts of calcium are available for bone mineralization. Vitamin D3 also promotes the efficient utilization of calcium and phosphorus, further contributing to bone health. Together, these components work to prevent calcium and vitamin D deficiencies, strengthen bones, and support overall skeletal integrity.

Calcium, Zinc, and Cholecalciferol are minerals.

Following are the drug interactions for Calcium, Zinc, Cholecalciferol Tablet:

• Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium can decrease the absorption of calcium and zinc, reducing their effectiveness.
• Bisphosphonates, a class of drugs used for osteoporosis, may have reduced absorption when taken with calcium. Separate dosing is recommended.
• Thiazide diuretics can increase calcium levels, and monitoring for hypercalcemia is advised when used with this supplement.
• Calcium can decrease the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, so these medications should be taken at different times.
• Phenytoin, phenobarbital, and rifampin may decrease vitamin D (Cholecalciferol) levels, thus reducing its effectiveness.
• Orlistat, a weight-loss medication, can reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D.
• Corticosteroids can increase calcium excretion, potentially leading to reduced calcium levels.
• Calcium may decrease the absorption of levothyroxine, a thyroid medication, requiring separate dosing.

Following are the food interactions for Calcium, Zinc, and Cholecalciferol Tablet:

• High-fiber foods like whole grains, legumes, and certain vegetables can decrease the absorption of Calcium, so it is best to take the tablet a few hours before or after consuming these foods.
• Dairy products, especially milk, cheese, and yogurt, can be beneficial as they are rich in Calcium and can enhance the absorption of the supplement.
• Zinc absorption can be inhibited by phytates found in whole grains, legumes, and nuts, so consider separating their consumption from the tablet timing.
• Foods rich in Vitamin D, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), egg yolks, and fortified foods, can support the absorption of Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3).
• Avoid excessive consumption of calcium-rich antacids, as they may interfere with the absorption of Zinc.
• Oxalic acid-rich foods like spinach, rhubarb, and sweet potatoes can bind with Calcium and reduce its absorption, so it's best to limit their intake around the time of medication.
• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it may interfere with Calcium and Vitamin D metabolism and absorption.
• Consider separating the tablet intake from high-phytate and high-fiber meals to ensure optimal mineral absorption.
