Calcium is an abundant element in the body. It plays a key role in the development and maintenance of bones .
Calcium enables contraction of muscles ,including the function of the body’s most important muscles and
the heart.It is also essential for the normal blood clotting ,proper nerve impulse transmission and the appropriate
support of connective tissue.The risk of pre-eclamplasia developing lowers by 45-75% for women who receive
calcium supplementation.
Pregnant women ,nursing mothers, children and adolescent need more calcium than they normally get from eating calcium rich food.Adult women may take calcium supplements to prevent a bone disease called osteoporosis. A diet low calcium for many years, especially in the younger adult years may add to risk of developing it.
It is therefore for this reasons that purecal tablets are indicated for calcium deficiency, supplementation in pre and post menopausal osteoporosis, supplementation in growing children, bone building in childhood and adolescence and in the event of fractures.
