Any fractured bone requires not just calcium but also vitamin d3 which helps with the calcium absorption for a minimum period of 3 months.
You can take
- tb. Shelcal xt once a day after breakfast for 3 months. It will help you with not only the calcium requirements but also with other essential vitamins.
- cap. Uprise d3 60k once a week for 12 weeks.
After 12 weeks you can stop shelcal xt and continue uprise d3 capsule once a month as a maintenance dose for general bone health.
