About Gemci Capsule

Gemci Capsule belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Gemci Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body like Vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), and rickets or osteomalacia (softening or deforming of bones due to lack of calcium).

Gemci Capsule consists of Elemental Calcium (mineral), Calcitriol (Vitamin D3), and Elemental Zinc (mineral). Elemental Calcium is a mineral used to prevent or treat calcium deficiency. It provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Calcitriol is a synthetic version of Vitamin D3 that raises Vitamin D levels and thereby increases calcium levels in the blood. Elemental Zinc is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues. 

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Gemci Capsule is likely safe to consume. In some cases, it may cause common side effects like constipation, nausea, vomiting, and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
