About Taicvc Capsule

Taicvc Capsule belongs to the class of nutritional supplements used to prevent or treat low blood calcium levels in people who cannot get sufficient calcium from their diets. Taicvc Capsule effectively treats various conditions caused by low calcium levels in the body, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, and osteoarthritis.

Taicvc Capsule contains Calcium Phosphate, Collagen and Vitamin D3. Calcium phosphate provides essential nutrients necessary for bone formation and maintenance. Vitamin D3 helps in the absorption of calcium phosphate. Collagen helps in the regeneration of cartilage (connective tissue), thereby providing strength to the bones and improving joints' flexibility. 

Take Taicvc Capsule as recommended. Taicvc Capsule does not generally cause any side effects. In very rare cases, Taicvc Capsule may cause side effects such as mild loss of appetite, nausea and fatigue. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your physician if these side effects persist. 

Avoid taking Taicvc Capsule if allergic to it. Keep your physician informed if you suffer from any kidney problems, diabetes, phenylketonuria, hypercalcemia, or have been immobilized for some time. Also, inform if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding.

Uses of Taicvc Capsule

Treatment of Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, and Osteoarthritis.

Medicinal Benefits

Taicvc Capsule is used to treat low calcium levels in the body. It contains Calcium Phosphate, Collagen and Vitamin D3. It is used primarily to strengthen bones, joints and muscles and also in the treatment of bone disease. Taicvc Capsule works by enhancing the calcium and mineral content of bones. Taicvc Capsule also helps in improving joint mobility and movement in general. In addition, Taicvc Capsule promotes normal functioning and strength of muscle cells. Calcium Phosphate helps by restoring normal calcium levels in the body, required for optimal functioning of bones and joints. Vitamin D3 is an active form of Vitamin D, which increases the production of carrier proteins responsible for mobilizing calcium ions from the gut into the body, replenishing its stores. Vitamin D3 also activates bone-producing cells (osteoblasts) and reduces urinary loss of calcium from the body. Collagen is an important component of cartilage and bone and is hence essential in maintaining the joint architecture. It also provides lubrication to joints and eases movement, thereby relieving symptoms such as pain and stiffness.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Load up on oily fish, egg yolks, spinach, broccoli, salmon, and orange juice. 
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
  • Doing weight-bearing exercises such as brisk walking, jogging, tennis, or even dance can be very useful in promoting overall bone health. However, do not over-exert yourself if you feel too tired or suffer from severely brittle bones. 
  • Muscle training activities such as yoga and Pilates can also be very helpful.
  • Spend time under the sun (however, with proper sunscreen) for quality intake of Vitamin D.
  • Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption and stop smoking as these may have a negative effect on bone health. Smokers tend to have lower bone density than non-smokers. 

Special Advise

 

Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis occurs due to the breakdown of cartilage that cushions and protects the bones. The disease progresses gradually and tends to worsen if not treated. Symptoms include joint pain in the hips, lower back, knees, and hands. It is commonly seen in post-menopausal women. 

Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a state in which the bones become weak and brittle. It is often brought about by disease and age (menopausal osteoporosis). In osteoporosis, the activity of bone-destroying cells surpasses the activity of bone-forming cells. Most people do not suffer from any symptoms until there's a fracture and bones literally start to break. 

Osteopenia: Osteopenia means a loss in bone density. Osteopenia is a notch milder than full-blown osteoporosis. Symptoms include joint pain, especially around the knees, weakness, lethargy and stiff movements.
