How Alvical Soft Gelatin Capsule works

Alvical XT Soft Gelatin Capsule is a combination of seven medicines : Calcitriol, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc, Magnesium, Vitamin K2-7, Methylcobalamin, and L-Methyl Folate. Calcitriol is the active form of Vitamin D. It raises Vitamin D levels in your blood. This in turn raises calcium levels in your blood by helping you absorb more calcium from your intestine. Calcium carbonate is a dietary supplement used when the amount of calcium taken in the diet is not enough. Zinc is a nutritional supplement that provides essential nutrients to our body and improves overall health. Magnesium is an antacid that neutralizes the excessive acid in the stomach. Vitamin K2-7 plays a central role in the metabolism of calcium, the main mineral found in your bones and teeth. Vitamin K2-7 activates the calcium-binding actions of two proteins : matrix GLA protein and osteocalcin, which help to build and maintain bone health. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that restores its level in the body thereby helping in treating certain anemias and nerve problems. L-Methyl Folate is the primary biologically active isomer of folic acid and the primary form of folate in circulation. Folic Acid is a form of vitamin B. It plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. It is also essential in pregnancy due to its role in the development of the unborn baby's brain and spinal cord.
