Function and Efficacy
This product is involved in the formation of bones and the reconstruction of bone tissue after fracture, as well as muscle contraction, nerve transmission, coagulation mechanism and reducing the permeability of capillaries.
Ingredients
Oyster shells are calcined at high temperature to convert into calcium compounds mainly composed of calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide. The auxiliary material is starch.

(Caused by taking milk and calcium carbonate, or calcium carbonate alone). 3. Excessive and long-term use may cause rebound increase in gastric acid secretion and hypercalcemia.

Drug Interactions
1 This product should not be used in combination with digitalis drugs. 2 Drinking large amounts of alcoholic and caffeinated beverages and smoking large amounts of cigarettes will inhibit the absorption of calcium. 3 Eating large amounts of fiber-rich foods can inhibit the absorption of calcium, because calcium combines with cellulose to form compounds that are not easily absorbed. 4 This product is used in combination with phenytoin sodium and tetracyclines, and the absorption of both is reduced. 5 Vitamin D, birth control pills, and estrogen can increase calcium absorption. 6 When aluminum-containing antacids are taken with this product, aluminum absorption increases. 7 When this product is used in combination with thiazide diuretics, hypercalcemia is likely to occur (due to increased renal tubular weight of calcium).
