About Problast Fem Capsule

Key Benefits

  • Increases calcium absorption and appropriate bone mineralisation, which strengthens and densifies bones.
  • Aids in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia, particularly in women who have gone through menopause.

  • Uses calcium and magnesium to ease bone pain and cramping in the muscles.

How Problast Fem Capsule Works

Problast Fem Capsule is a combination of five drugs: Calcitriol, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium, Soya Isoflavones, and Vitamin K2-7. • Calcitriol is a man-made form of Vitamin D3 and treats calcium deficiency. It raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. This helps in improving the absorption rate of calcium from the stomach. • Calcium carbonate is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Magnesium is a mineral that promotes the normal functioning of muscles. • Soya isoflavones work by strengthening bones in postmenopausal women. • Vitamin K2 7 helps to maintain bone density.

Healthy eating habits:
