Shelcal -200 ml Syrup

Shelcal Syrup (200 ml Bottle) is a calcium supplement in liquid form designed to help maintain strong bones, support bone health, and address calcium deficiencies. This syrup contains calcium carbonate derived from an organic source (powdered oyster shell), which is a bioavailable form of calcium. It is particularly useful for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or prefer liquid supplements.

Product Overview:

• Brand: Shelcal
• Product Type: Calcium Supplement
• Form: Syrup
• Pack Size: 200 ml Bottle

Composition (Per 5 ml Dose):

1. Calcium Carbonate (625 mg):
   • Calcium carbonate from organic oyster shell provides 625 mg of calcium carbonate, which is equivalent to 250 mg of elemental calcium.
   • Calcium is crucial for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. It helps in bone mineralization, increases bone density, and reduces the risk of fractures, especially in individuals with osteoporosis, aging adults, and people with calcium deficiencies.

Key Features & Benefits:

1. Supports Bone Health:
   • 250 mg of elemental calcium per 5 ml dose is essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth. Calcium plays a vital role in bone structure, density, and overall skeletal health. It helps prevent bone loss, which is particularly important in older adults, postmenopausal women, and individuals at risk of osteoporosis.
2. Helps Prevent Calcium Deficiency:
   • Shelcal Syrup is a convenient way to increase calcium intake for individuals who are at risk of calcium deficiency due to poor dietary intake, medical conditions that affect calcium absorption, or limited sun exposure (which affects vitamin D synthesis and calcium absorption).
3. Bioavailable Form of Calcium:
   • The calcium carbonate used in Shelcal Syrup comes from powdered oyster shell, a natural and highly bioavailable source of calcium. This ensures better absorption and utilization of calcium in the body.
4. Suitable for All Age Groups:
   • The liquid form of Shelcal Syrup makes it an ideal option for individuals who may have difficulty swallowing pills, including children, elderly adults, and those with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
5. Convenient Dosage:
   • Each dose of 5 ml provides 250 mg of elemental calcium, making it easy to adjust the dosage based on individual needs or as advised by a healthcare professional. The syrup form is also convenient for those who need to consume larger amounts of calcium in one go.

How to Use:

• Recommended Dosage:
  • Take 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) per day, or as directed by your healthcare provider, to meet your calcium requirements. The syrup should be taken with food to help improve absorption.
• Storage:
  • Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Indications:

• Bone Health: Shelcal Syrup is ideal for individuals who need to improve their calcium intake for the maintenance of strong bones and teeth, particularly those at risk of osteoporosis or bone weakness.
• Calcium Deficiency: This supplement is beneficial for individuals with low calcium levels due to insufficient dietary intake, certain medical conditions, or limited sun exposure.
• Support for Growing Children & Elderly: Shelcal Syrup is especially helpful for children who need extra calcium for bone growth and elderly individuals who may experience reduced calcium absorption with age.

Side Effects:

• Mild Side Effects: Shelcal Syrup is generally well tolerated. Some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms, such as bloating, constipation, or upset stomach due to the calcium content.
• Excessive Calcium: Overconsumption of calcium can lead to hypercalcemia, which can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, constipation, and kidney stones. It’s important to adhere to the recommended dosage.
• Precautions: If you have kidney disease, hypercalcemia, or other pre-existing health conditions, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider before using this supplement.
