Vitamin K2-7 helps direct calcium to bones by supporting carboxylation of osteocalcin, while zinc supports bone formation and mineral metabolism.

Expert advice for Caleat Kd Plus Tablet

Take calcium with food, and split the day's total if you take a large amount. Sunlight helps your body make its own vitamin D. Have your level rechecked as your doctor advises rather than continuing high doses indefinitely. Take it at the same time each day and complete the course. Keep your follow-up appointments and any monitoring blood tests. Take it with food unless the pack says otherwise. Have deficiencies confirmed and rechecked by blood test rather than supplementing indefinitely. Take it with food to reduce nausea. A varied diet remains the best source of these nutrients.
