Medicinal Benefits
Rigikal-Alen Tablet is used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It contains Alendronic acid (Alendronate) and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3). Rigikal-Alen Tablet works by preventing bone destruction and resorption, thereby retaining the normal density of bones. It slows down the activity of bone-destroying cells (osteoclasts), which tend to be overdriven in case of bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Cholecalciferol is the active form of Vitamin D and is essential in maintaining and promoting bone integrity and health. Hence, Rigikal-Alen Tablet is useful in strengthening and restoring the integrity and health of weak bones.

Load up on Vitamin D rich foods such as oily fish, egg yolks, spinach, broccoli, salmon and orange juice to promote bone health.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Doing weight-bearing exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, tennis, or even dance can be very useful in promoting overall bone health. However, do not over-exert yourself if you feel too tired or suffer from severely brittle bones.
Muscle training activities such as yoga and Pilates can also be very helpful in strengthening the body and bones.
Spend time under the sun (however, with proper sunscreen) for quality intake of Vitamin D.
Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption and stop smoking as these may have a negative effect on bone health.
