How do the ingredients of the medication work?
Calcium ions play a crucial role in the activation of biological systems. A deficiency of calcium in the blood increases, while an excess decreases, neuromuscular excitability. Oral calcium supplementation promotes the remineralization of the skeleton in cases of calcium deficiency. Cholecalciferol is physiological vitamin D3, which is converted in the kidneys and liver to calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3. Calcitriol is responsible for the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphate from the intestines. Likewise, the utilization of calcium and its reabsorption by the kidneys are vitamin D-dependent. This substance promotes bone mineralization and thus inhibits bone loss.
