Introduction About CALGROW AS TABLET
Calgrow AS is a calcium supplement that is used for the management of osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), loss of bone mass, cartilage and joint damages, bone fracture and bone spur, back pain, muscle pain, fibromyalgia (body pain), low levels of calcium, as well to boost energy.
It contains calcium aspartate as an active ingredient that helps to support bone, ligament and cartilage health.
Calcium aspartate helps to increase serum calcium levels by enhancing calcium absorption in the intestines and retention in the kidneys. It also increases phosphate resorption, as a result, decreases serum phosphate levels, parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and bone resorption. Calcium aspartate stimulates osteoblastic activity (bone-forming cells) and collagen production thereby helping to increase bone density.
Always take Calgrow AS exactly as advised by your doctor. Swallow it with a glass of water, do not crush or chew the medicine unless your doctor has instructed to do. Take Calgrow AS along with food if you have achlorhydria (absence of Hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions).
It is not recommended to take Calgrow AS if you have kidney stones, excess calcium and vitamin D levels, or hyperparathyroidism (increased levels of PTH). Keep a check on your food habits as consuming foods containing more calcium along with supplementary medicines may increase the risk of kidney stone formation in both men and women.
