Calcium with vitamin D3 tablets in 600 mg or 500 mg calcium with 200 IU or 800 IU D3, for importers, distributors and pharmacy chains sourcing a combination product as a registered medicine or a food supplement.

Product Description:

Calcium with vitamin D3 tablets combine a calcium salt, usually calcium carbonate, with colecalciferol. Calcium carbonate is about 40 percent elemental calcium, so a 600 mg calcium tablet holds roughly 1500 mg of the salt. Vitamin D3 at 200 IU equals 5 micrograms; 800 IU equals 20 micrograms. Labels should state elemental calcium, not just salt weight. Tablets may be swallowed, chewable or film-coated, and size matters, since a 600 mg tablet is large.

The regulatory category depends on the market. In some countries these combinations are licensed medicines; in others they fall under food or dietary supplement rules with set labelling and permitted claims. Carbonate tablets are usually taken with a meal, while citrate types can be taken at any time. Pharmacists expect a note on spacing, because calcium binds tetracyclines, quinolones, levothyroxine, iron and oral bisphosphonates. Total intake should stay within national upper limits.

Sourcing notes. Confirm whether your market registers the product as a medicine, needing a CTD or ACTD dossier, or as a supplement, needing notification and label review. Key specifications are assay of both actives against label claim, vitamin D3 overage and stability, disintegration, heavy metals (lead in particular for calcium salts) and microbial limits. Vitamin D3 is sensitive to heat, light and oxygen, so ask for zone IVb stability data. Alu-alu blisters or sealed bottles with desiccant suit humid climates. Ask for a CoA per batch, GMP certificate and the grade of the calcium salt. In an enquiry, give both strengths, tablet type, pack count and label language.
