D-Cure Calcium contains two active ingredients: calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Both calcium and vitamin D3 are present in the diet, and vitamin D is also produced in the skin after sun exposure.

D-Cure Calcium is used to correct calcium and vitamin D deficiencies in adults and the elderly or in combination with treatments for osteoporosis, where calcium and vitamin D levels are too low or when there is a high risk for too low levels.
