About Fracfine-Plus Tablet

Fracfine-Plus Tablet belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to support bone health and effectively treat various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body.

Vitamin K2 helps maintain bone density by promoting calcium transport from the bloodstream into the bone.
