About Problast Fem Capsule

Problast Fem Capsule is used to prevent bone loss in peri and post-menopausal women. Perimenopause is the time around menopause during which ovaries produce less estrogen and stop releasing eggs. Postmenopause is a condition in which women have not had a period for 12 months or longer. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density, which is common in post-menopausal women. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break

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 improving the health of the heart and strengthening bones in postmenopausal women. Vitamin K2 7 helps to maintain bone density.
