Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Healthy eating habits:

  • Add foods high in calcium, such as milk, curd, paneer, cheese, ragi, sesame seeds, and almonds.
  • Make sure you get enough vitamin D from foods like eggs, salmon, fortified milk, and mushrooms.
  • To promote bone health, consume meals high in protein (dal, legumes, eggs, lean meat).
  • To improve vitamin D synthesis, spend 15 to 20 minutes in the morning in the sun.
  • Reduce your intake of carbonated drinks, salt, and caffeine because they accelerate the loss of calcium.

Lifestyle modifications:

  • To strengthen your bones, engage in weight-bearing and strength-building activities such as yoga, stair climbing, and walking.
  • To reduce bone stress and fracture risk, maintain a healthy body weight.
  • Steer clear of alcohol and tobacco since they weaken bones and decrease the absorption of calcium.
  • Wearing appropriate footwear and maintaining well-lit living areas can help prevent falls and injuries.

FAQs

Sancoral Softgel Capsule is primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. It effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, like Vitamin D deficiency.

Sancoral Softgel Capsule consists of two vitamins: elemental calcium and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Elemental calcium is a mineral that is used to prevent or treat a calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients to maintain bone formation. Vitamin D3 is a steroid hormone produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet light or obtained from food sources. It helps maintain blood calcium and phosphorus levels and the mineralization of bone.

Antacids may increase the absorption of Calcium from Sancoral Softgel Capsule . Hence, it is advised to take Sancoral Softgel Capsule two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.

Sancoral Softgel Capsule is used to increase low levels of calcium in the body. Hence, it is not advised to use Sancoral Softgel Capsule during hypercalcaemia since it causes the overdose of calcium, leading to kidney stones and other effects.

Sancoral Softgel Capsule can cause kidney stones due to excess calcium deposition when used for a prolonged period. Please consult your doctor before taking Sancoral Softgel Capsule as a daily supplement if you have any kidney problems or a history of kidney stones.

Milk is considered to be the best source of calcium. You can take Sancoral Softgel Capsule with milk.

The food sources of Vitamin D3 and Calcium include cheese, milk, paneer, curd, and other dairy products, kale, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, and milk products.

It boosts the immune system to fight infections, may help improve mood and reduce depression, and keeps muscles strong, reducing the risk of falls. You can get vitamin D from sunlight, foods like fatty fish, or supplements if necessary.

Sancoral Softgel Capsule causes side effects such as constipation and stomach upset. Please consult a doctor if the side effects persist for longer durations.
