Collagen Peptide is a proteoglycan synthesis stimulator. It works by building cartilage (soft connective tissue around the joints) leading to joint repair. It also lowers pain and inflammation (swelling). It is responsible for several biological functions, one of which is to provide structural support in connective tissue, muscle, and skin.

 

•  Collagen Peptide is used for osteoarthritis. Collagen supplements helps promote joint health and potentially restore some bone density.
•  Collagen makes up a significant amount of bone structure and helps keep thebones strong.
•  Collagen is the protein responsible for skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles andadding moisture to the skin.
•  They are also used for brittle nails and muscle strength.

 Taking collagen supplements may also help support a healthy cardiovascularsystem.
 Some other potential things that collagen may help with include:

•  maintaining a healthy gut
•  maintaining a healthy weight
•  reducing anxiety
•  improving mood
•  promoting healthy nail and hair growth

•  diarrhea
•  a general feeling of heaviness in the stomach
•  rashes

Collagen Peptide is possibly safe, with very none or very mild side effects. Not enough is known about the safety of collagen peptides when used in medicinal amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

• Calcium acetate is a natural mineral that works by holding onto phosphate from the diet so that it can pass out of your body.
• Calcium acetate helps reduce phosphate levels in people with advanced kidney disease.
•  People with advanced kidney failure retain phosphate leading to too much phosphate in their bodies (hyperphosphatemia). High   phosphate levels cause hyperparathyroidism, which leads to abnormal bone formation and calcium deposits in tissues.
•  Calcium acetate is a phosphate binder. Calcium acetate, when taken with meals, combines with phosphate in food to form calcium   phosphate, which is poorly absorbed into the body and is excreted in the feces.
•  Binding phosphate in the intestines reduces absorption of phosphate into the body.

•  Calcium acetate is used to prevent high blood phosphate levels in patients who are on dialysis due to severe kidney   disease.
•  Dialysis removes some phosphate from your blood, but it is difficult to remove enough to keep your phosphate levels   balanced.
•  Decreasing blood phosphate levels can help keep your bones strong, prevent unsafe buildup of minerals in your body, and   possibly decrease the risk of heart disease and strokes that can result from high phosphate levels.

•  Stomach upset may occur. If this effect persists or worsens, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
•  If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk   of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
•  Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: stomach/abdominal pain, loss of   appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation, confusion, dry mouth, increased thirst/urination.
•  A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic   reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

•  Before taking calcium acetate, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies.
•  This medication should not be used if you have a certain medical condition. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor or     pharmacist if you have: a high blood calcium level (hypercalcemia).
•  Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history.
•  During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
•  This medication passes into breast milk but is unlikely to harm a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

Generic Name: cholecalciferol 

Vitamin D3 is needed for normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which is further utilized for development and maintenance of bones and teeth. This makes bones stronger and reduces risk for bone fractures.  Vitamin D3 also has a role in ones nerve, muscle, and immune systems.

People who might need extra vitamin D3 include

•  Older adult
•  Breastfed infants
•  People with dark skin
•  People with certain conditions, such as liver diseases, cystic fibrosis and Crohn's disease
•  People who have obesity or have had gastric bypass surgery

Symptoms of vitamin D3 deficiency include bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, and mood changes. Vitamin D3 is used for treating osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia, renal osteodystrophy and hypoparathyroidism.

•   nausea
•       vomiting
•         constipation
•         weight loss
•        weakness
•         increased calcium levels (hypercalcemia)

May cause allergic reactions or other problems if contain inactive ingredients such as peanut/soy. Pregnant women or Breastfeeding mothers need to consult their doctors before taking Vitamin D3 supplements.
