Vitatrol plus contains Calcitriol, Calcium Carbonate and Zinc Sulphate.
Calcitriol – Most active form of vitamin D. Calcitriol regulates calcium homoeostasis and helps maintain normal calcium and phosphorus levels in the plasma and bone. . The plasma calcium level is increased by increased absorption of calcium from the gut and by decreasing renal calcium excretion. Independent of the above action calcitriol enhances bone mineralisation.
Calcium Carbonate – Is present in all tissues of the body the major portion is found in the bones. In fact the bones act like calcium reservoir. Dietary deficiency of calcium is thought to play a significant role in the development of osteoporosis.

Zinc – Bone growth retardation is a common finding in various conditions associated with zinc deficiency. Zinc has been demonstrated to have stimulatory effect on bone formation and mineralisation. Zinc directly activates aminoacyl – t RNA synthesis in osteoblastic cells and improves protein synthesis. It also inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption by inhibiting osteoclast formation from the bone marrow.
