⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Calcium is used as a medicine in humans almost only to correct a deficiency. The body needs enough calcium in the blood for many of its functions, and it will not tolerate a shortage even for a short time.

Vitamin C is a necessary part of the diet because humans can't make it themselves. It is a very powerful reducing agent. Vitamin C also helps the body respond to stress and is important in defence against infection.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Studies on oral calcium in people have found no increase in the risk of birth defects in the baby. Some supplemental calcium may pass into breast milk, but the amount is unlikely to be enough to cause any harmful effect in the newborn. Vitamin C can be taken safely during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
