What Experts Say

Calcium and Vitamin D3 deficiency remain common across Pakistan, largely due to limited dietary calcium intake, low dairy consumption, and reduced sun exposure among women who spend most of the day indoors. Many adults show low serum Vitamin D levels on routine testing, making a combined calcium and Vitamin D3 supplement a practical daily addition.

Physicians explain that Vitamin D3 works by improving intestinal absorption of calcium, so pairing the two nutrients in one chewable tablet is more effective than calcium alone. Qalsium-D delivers 500mg of elemental calcium along with 125 IU of Vitamin D3 per tablet, a combination dietitians consider well suited for maintaining bone mineral density, especially in growing children, pregnant women, and adults past the age of 40 when bone loss naturally accelerates.

Because it is an over the counter chewable supplement rather than a prescription medicine, doctors generally consider Qalsium-D safe for daily use within recommended limits. People with kidney stones, hypercalcemia, or those already taking other calcium supplements should check with a doctor first, since excess calcium intake over time can affect kidney function.
