Quick Facts

Calcium Citrate 1000mg + Mg Hydroxide 216mg + D3 + Zinc; Acid-independent absorption; Storage Below 30°C; Schedule: OTC; Take any time; 150 tablets

Key Benefits

01

Calcium citrate — acid-independent absorption for PPI users, elderly, and post-gastrectomy patients

02

Magnesium co-supplementation — PTH and vitamin D cofactor, muscle function, migraine prevention

03

No food requirement — calcium citrate taken any time regardless of gastric acid status

04

Superior for complex patients — PPI users, elderly, post-surgical are large clinical populations

05

Differentiates from GROSSCAL — citrate vs carbonate for different patient profiles

06

150-tablet economy pack — long-course supply for chronic supplementation

Mechanism of Action

Calcium Citrate 1000mg (provides elemental calcium without requiring gastric acid — pH-independent absorption superior for patients on PPIs or with achlorhydria) + Magnesium Hydroxide 216mg (elemental Mg 90mg — cofactor for PTH secretion, vitamin D activation, ATP synthesis in bone, and neuromuscular function) + Vitamin D3 + Zinc. Calcium citrate's acid-independent absorption makes GROSSCAL MZ specifically superior to calcium carbonate (GROSSCAL) for patients on proton pump inhibitors, elderly with reduced gastric acid, and post-gastrectomy patients.

Indications

Osteoporosis in patients on PPI therapy (where calcium carbonate absorption is impaired), post-gastrectomy calcium supplementation, hypocalcaemia in patients with achlorhydria, magnesium deficiency states (alcoholism, diuretic use, malabsorption), muscle cramps and tetany from combined calcium-magnesium deficiency, neurological conditions with calcium-magnesium requirements (migraines — magnesium deficiency is a known migraine trigger), and post-menopausal bone loss with magnesium co-deficiency.

Dosage & Administration

Dosage and administration should be as prescribed by a qualified doctor or medical professional. Do not self-medicate. Always follow your physician's instructions regarding dose, frequency and duration of treatment.

Why GROSSCAL MZ?

The large and growing population of patients on long-term PPI therapy (for GORD, peptic ulcer, H. pylori prophylaxis) represents a specific calcium supplementation challenge — calcium carbonate absorption is significantly impaired in PPI-induced hypochlorhydria. GROSSCAL MZ's calcium citrate formulation addresses this directly, providing reliable calcium absorption regardless of gastric acid status. The magnesium addition extends clinical utility to neurologists managing magnesium-deficiency migraines and muscle cramps.
