ELEMENTAL CALCIUM+ELEMENTAL MAGNESIUM belongs to the class of nutritional supplements used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who cannot get sufficient calcium from their diets.
ELEMENTAL CALCIUM+ELEMENTAL MAGNESIUM combines two drugs: Elemental Calcium and Elemental Magnesium. Calcium is the building block for bones, and magnesium aids its absorption. This duo keeps your bones dense and teeth strong, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and cavities. Calcium and magnesium work synergistically to benefit overall health, particularly in bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission.

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and brittle bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Breaking a bone is a serious complication of osteoporosis, especially in older patients. Women are much more likely to develop osteoporosis than are men. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, and a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
