What it is used for
This supplement is used to prevent or treat low calcium and vitamin D, for example when the diet contains little milk or other calcium-rich foods, or when a person gets little sun on the skin. Doctors often recommend it to support bone health in older adults, women after the menopause and people with osteoporosis (thin, weak bones), sometimes alongside other bone medicines. It may also be advised during pregnancy and breastfeeding when the diet does not meet the body's needs.
How it works
The calcium comes from calcium carbonate taken from marine coral and provides the main mineral that builds and maintains bones and teeth. Vitamin D3 helps the gut absorb calcium and helps the body keep calcium levels balanced.

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first
- People with kidney stones, kidney disease or a history of high calcium in the blood or urine

Questions people ask
Is coral calcium better than ordinary calcium carbonate?
Coral calcium is mostly calcium carbonate, the same form found in many other calcium supplements. There is no good evidence that it is absorbed better or works better for bone health.
Should calcium tablets be taken with food?
Calcium carbonate is absorbed better when taken with a meal, because it needs stomach acid to dissolve. Follow the directions on the pack or from your doctor or pharmacist.
Why is vitamin D added to calcium?
The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium from the gut. Low vitamin D is common even in sunny countries, because many people spend little time in direct sun or keep most of their skin covered, so the two are often given together.
