N-Cal DX combines elemental calcium
from a coral source (which has a chemical structure similar to human bone) with
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). This combination is designed to ensure better
absorption and utilization of calcium in the body, which is vital for numerous
bodily functions, especially the formation and maintenance of strong bones and
teeth.
