Cal-Aid

This medicine is used in the treatment of vitamin b deficiency, nerve pain and tingling, anaemia, tiredness due to deficiency, vitamin d deficiency, low calcium, osteoporosis, bone health, the condition your doctor has prescribed this for, nutritional deficiency, support during recovery and antioxidant supplementation.

In Vitamin B deficiency

Cal-Aid restores the B vitamins your body needs to turn food into energy and to keep nerves and blood cells healthy, correcting the deficiency behind symptoms such as tiredness, sore tongue and pins and needles.

In Nerve pain and tingling

Cal-Aid supplies the vitamins nerves need to repair their protective covering, which over weeks can ease the burning, tingling and numbness of nerve damage.

In Anaemia

Cal-Aid gives the bone marrow the B12 and folate it needs to make healthy red blood cells, correcting the anaemia and the tiredness and breathlessness that come with it.

In Tiredness due to deficiency

Cal-Aid corrects a lack of B vitamins, which is a common and easily missed reason for feeling drained. Energy returns as the stores are rebuilt.

In Vitamin D deficiency

Cal-Aid restores the vitamin D your body needs to absorb calcium from food, easing the bone aches, muscle weakness and tiredness that low vitamin D causes.

In Low calcium

Cal-Aid replaces the calcium the body is short of, relieving muscle cramps, tingling and the other effects of a low calcium level.

In Osteoporosis

Cal-Aid gives the bones the calcium and vitamin D they need to stay dense, slowing the thinning that leads to fractures of the hip, wrist and spine.

In Bone health

Cal-Aid supports strong bones and teeth and helps muscles work properly, which matters most in growing children, in pregnancy and after the menopause.

In The condition your doctor has prescribed this for

Cal-Aid treats the condition your doctor identified when prescribing it. Take it exactly as advised, and ask your doctor or pharmacist what to expect from it.

In Nutritional deficiency

Cal-Aid tops up vitamins and minerals the diet is not supplying, correcting the deficiency and the tiredness, poor healing or frequent infections that go with it.

In Support during recovery

Cal-Aid helps meet the body's raised need for nutrients while it recovers from an illness, surgery or a period of poor eating.

In Antioxidant supplementation

Cal-Aid supplies nutrients the body uses to limit everyday cell damage, as part of a balanced diet rather than a replacement for one.

AlcoholCAUTION

Alcohol may worsen the side effects of this medicine. Limit it.
