calcium carbonate + fluoride

**Calcium carbonate + fluoride** is an oral fixed-dose mineral supplement combination represented by the marketed product Florical, which supplies calcium carbonate from oyster shell and sodium fluoride in a capsule. Calcium provides an absorbable source of calcium for normal skeletal mineralization and neuromuscular physiology, while fluoride can incorporate into hydroxyapatite-containing mineral to support formation of more acid-resistant fluorapatite in dental enamel and may affect bone mineralization. Florical is listed by its manufacturer as a dietary supplement, not as an FDA-approved prescription drug; its current label specifies 364 mg calcium carbonate and 8.3 mg sodium fluoride per capsule, equivalent to 145 mg calcium and 3.75 mg fluoride.
