Calcium with Vitamin D3 is a foundational nutritional combination designed to maintain skeletal integrity and metabolic balance. Calcium is the primary structural mineral in bones and teeth, and it is also essential for nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) acts as a critical "biological key" that facilitates the absorption of calcium from the intestines into the bloodstream. Without adequate D3, the body cannot utilize the calcium from diet or supplements, often leading to the body "stealing" calcium from the bones, which weakens them over time.
In Nigeria, Calcium + D3 is a premier clinical choice for preventing bone density loss and supporting growing children. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure customers receive authentic, high-stability tablets manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards and stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain the potency of the light-sensitive Vitamin D3 molecules.
Important: This is a concentrated mineral supplement. The "Stone" Warning: If you have a history of kidney stones, consult a doctor before starting high-dose calcium, as excess calcium in the urine can contribute to stone formation. The "Separate" Rule: Calcium can block the absorption of certain antibiotics (like Ciprofloxacin) and thyroid medications; take these at least 2 to 4 hours apart. Do not use if you have "hypercalcemia" (abnormally high blood calcium levels).
Calcium + D3 Tablets are primarily used to:
Prevent and treat Osteoporosis and Osteopenia (bone thinning) in older adults
Support healthy bone and tooth development in growing children and adolescents
Reduce the risk of bone fractures and falls in the elderly
Support maternal health and fetal skeletal development during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Manage muscle cramps and "twitches" caused by low calcium levels
Assist in the management of "Rickets" (in children) and "Osteomalacia" (in adults)
Provide essential support for women during and after menopause when estrogen levels drop
This product is suitable for:
Post-menopausal women who are at a higher risk of bone density loss
Seniors requiring extra structural support to prevent hip and wrist fractures
Pregnant and lactating mothers requiring increased minerals for two
Individuals on long-term steroid medications (which can weaken bones)
Vegans or those with lactose intolerance who do not consume dairy products
Not recommended for: Individuals with severe kidney disease or those with "sarcoidosis." It is strictly contraindicated for patients with "hyperparathyroidism" unless directed by a specialist. Consult our pharmacist if you are taking heart medications like Digoxin, as high calcium levels can increase the risk of heart rhythm issues.
For Adults: Take one (1) tablet once or twice daily, depending on your specific requirements
The "Meal" Rule: Best taken with food to improve absorption and minimize the risk of bloating or constipation
Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; if it is a "chewable" version, chew it thoroughly before swallowing
Divide the Dose: If you need more than 500mg of calcium daily, it is better to take it in two smaller doses (morning and evening) rather than all at once, as the body can only absorb so much at one time
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember with food, but skip it if it is almost time for your next one
For bone health, consistency is vital—supplements should be taken daily for at least 3 to 6 months to see structural benefits
Calcium + D3 is generally very well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:
Mild constipation or "gas" (especially with calcium carbonate versions)
Bloating or a feeling of fullness in the stomach
A chalky taste in the mouth (with chewable tablets)
Rare: Increased levels of calcium in the blood or urine with very high doses
Rare: Nausea or stomach discomfort if taken on an empty stomach
Consult a professional if you experience severe constipation, persistent stomach pain, or signs of a kidney stone (sharp pain in the side or back).

Which is better: Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Citrate?
Carbonate is more common and should be taken with food. Citrate is often more expensive but is easier on the stomach and can be taken with or without food—it is usually recommended for older adults with lower stomach acid.
Can I take this with my multivitamin?
Yes, but check the labels. If your multivitamin already has a lot of Vitamin D, you want to make sure you aren't exceeding the safe upper limit. Our pharmacist can help you calculate your total daily intake.
Will this make my bones "strong" immediately?
No. Bone health is a slow process. While the calcium enters your system quickly, it takes months of consistent use for the body to significantly improve bone density.
Where can I purchase Calcium + D3 in Nigeria?
You can find premium, verified Calcium + D3 supplements at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product quality and professional musculoskeletal support.
