How Alfa Ostebon Soft Gelatin Capsule works

Alfa Ostebon Capsule is often prescribed for the management of calcium and vitamin D deficiencies. Alfacalcidol is a synthetic form of vitamin D, specifically vitamin D3. It plays a crucial role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. It enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestines, promotes bone mineralization, and helps regulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. Calcium is a mineral that is essential for various physiological functions in the body, including the formation and maintenance of strong bones and teeth, blood clotting, and muscle function. Alfa Ostebon Capsule helps ensure an adequate supply for these essential functions.
