Overview
**Shelcal** is a marketed oral calcium and vitamin D3 supplement product line in India. The core **Shelcal 500** film-coated tablet contains calcium carbonate from powdered oyster shell, providing 500 mg elemental calcium, plus cholecalciferol 250 IU. Calcium replenishes calcium needed for skeletal mineralization and normal neuromuscular function, while cholecalciferol is converted to active vitamin D metabolites that increase intestinal calcium absorption. It is indicated for prevention and treatment of calcium and vitamin D3 deficiency and is used to support bone health. The Shelcal brand was acquired by Torrent Pharmaceuticals from Elder Pharmaceuticals in 2013. ([torrentpharma.com](https://torrentpharma.com/assets/2624_082b9f3ae0.pdf))
