What does it do?

Calcium carbonate is an inorganic compound that provides calcium ions and is used in pharmaceuticals to replenish calcium deficiency. It primarily plays an important role in maintaining skeletal health as a component of bones and teeth.

Calcium carbonate is broken down into calcium ions in the body, increasing blood calcium levels. This supplies the calcium necessary for bone formation and maintenance, helping to maintain bone density and prevent osteoporosis.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
