Calinta Kit is used to manage osteoporosis by providing essential nutrients like vitamin D3, calcium and zinc. It helps strengthen bones, prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures. It contains calcitriol/ cholecalciferol, elemental calcium, zinc and ibandronate. Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium, calcium provides a mineral needed for bone formation, and zinc supports normal bone metabolism. Ibandronate slows bone breakdown. Together, these actions support osteoporosis management and help reduce fracture risk.
Take the tablets in this kit as your doctor prescribes, generally with food to improve absorption and reduce stomach upset.
Tell your doctor if you have kidney stones or high blood calcium levels, as calcium and vitamin D supplements need caution in these conditions. Attend any blood tests your doctor arranges to monitor your calcium levels.

How Calinta Kit Tablet 31 Works?
The Calinta Kit contains four active ingredients that work together:
Calcitriol/Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) (0.00025 mg): This ingredient helps your body absorb calcium from your diet and reclaim it from your kidneys. By doing so, it prevents bone loss that can occur due to vitamin D3 deficiency.
Elemental Calcium (500 mg): Calcium is the main mineral found in your bones. Providing supplemental calcium helps strengthen your bones especially when dietary intake is not sufficient.
Ibandronate (150 mg): Belonging to the bisphosphonate class of medicines, ibandronate slows down bone loss and increases bone mineral density by inhibiting cells called osteoclasts that break down bone.
Zinc (20 mg): Zinc plays a vital role in bone metabolism and mineralisation. A lack of zinc has been linked to conditions like osteoporosis.
