What Experts Say

Calcium is the main building block of bone, but the body needs vitamin D3 to absorb it properly from the diet. Vitamin K2 then helps direct that calcium into bones rather than soft tissue like arteries.

This combination works well for people with limited sun exposure or low dietary calcium, both common concerns in Pakistan. It is usually taken once daily with a meal for better absorption.

Cadik is generally well tolerated, but very high calcium intake from supplements plus diet can occasionally cause constipation or, rarely, kidney stones. People with kidney disease or high blood calcium should check with a doctor before starting.

Drug Interactions

Cadik can interact with a few common medicines, mainly through its calcium and vitamin K2 content.

• Warfarin: Vitamin K2 can lower the blood thinning effect and needs monitoring.
