How Calcitriol + Calcium Carbonate + Zinc works

  • Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), is synthesized in the kidneys from the vitamin D metabolite 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (calcifediol). It helps your body effectively absorb calcium carbonate and additionally supports the muscles needed to avoid falls.
  • Calcium carbonate is vital for the body, supporting the proper functioning of nerves, cells, muscles, and bones. It helps prevent bone loss and is linked to a slight decrease in fracture risk.
  • Zinc is a vital nutritional supplement crucial for normal growth and tissue repair. Osteoporotic women often have increased urinary elimination of zinc. Depletion of zinc has been found to reduce the effectiveness of oral calcitriol when taken orally. Adding extra zinc not only enhances the response to calcitriol but also aids in preventing bone loss in older postmenopausal women.
