About Iffcal-K2 Softgel Capsule 10's

Iffcal-K2 Softgel Capsule 10's is primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Iffcal-K2 Softgel Capsule 10's effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), osteomalacia/rickets (weak bones), hypoparathyroidism (low levels of parathyroid hormone), and latent tetany (a muscle disease with low blood calcium levels). Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Iffcal-K2 Softgel Capsule 10's consists of three medicines: Calcium citrate (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Vitamin K2-7 (Menaquinone). Calcium citrate is a mineral that prevents or treats a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that treats calcium deficiency and metabolic bone diseases in people with chronic kidney failure. It raises the Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the intestine. Vitamin K2-7 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.
