Dicalcium Phosphate & Vitamin D3 Tablets

(The Calcium-Phosphorus Builder)

Manufactured by: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. (WHO-GMP Certified)

Exported by: Healthy Inc (Star Export House)

1. Product Introduction

Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. is a specialized Manufacturer of Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) and Vitamin D3 Tablets in India. While most calcium supplements focus only on Calcium, this formulation provides both Calcium and Phosphorus—the two essential minerals that make up the actual “hard” crystal structure of bone (Hydroxyapatite).

Dicalcium Phosphate is the preferred calcium salt for Pregnancy, Lactation, and Growing Children, as these life stages have a high demand for Phosphorus to build new skeletal tissue. Combined with Vitamin D3, which ensures maximal absorption of both minerals from the gut, this tablet is a complete “Bone Mineralization” therapy.

We offer Contract Manufacturing (Third Party) services for this essential nutritional supplement. Dicalcium Phosphate is abrasive and difficult to compress. Our WHO-GMP certified facility in Mumbai utilizes specialized Hard-Chrome Plated Tooling and high-pressure rotary presses to produce smooth, non-friable tablets. Healthy Inc manages the export logistics, supplying antenatal clinics (ANC) and pediatric supply chains across Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

3. Manufacturing Technology

Building the bone matrix.

• The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd.

  • Dual Mineral Source: We use high-purity Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate, which is less gritty and more bioavailable than the anhydrous form. It provides Calcium and Phosphorus in a near 1:1 ratio, mirroring the body’s natural requirements.

  • Vitamin D3 Protection: Vitamin D3 is sensitive to the abrasive nature of mineral salts. We use Stabilized, Micro-Encapsulated Vitamin D3 powder to prevent potency loss during the high-compression manufacturing process.

  • Disintegration Profile: Mineral tablets can be hard to digest. We use Super-Disintegrants (Sodium Starch Glycolate) to ensure the tablet breaks apart rapidly in the stomach acid, releasing the minerals for immediate absorption.

     

• The Exporter: Healthy Inc

  • Maternal Health Packs: We specialize in packaging this product for large-scale government Antenatal Care (ANC) programs, often branding it as a “Mother & Child” bone supplement.

4. Quality Assurance

We adhere to strict Pharmacopoeial standards:

• Assay: We confirm the potency of all three nutrients: Calcium, Phosphorus, and Vitamin D3.

• Fluoride Content: Dicalcium Phosphate is mined from rock sources and can contain Fluoride. We strictly test to ensure Fluoride levels are below safety limits (NMT 0.005%) to prevent dental fluorosis.

• Heavy Metals: Strict testing for Lead and Arsenic is mandatory for pregnancy supplements.

5. Why Use Dicalcium Phosphate?

Because bones are not just Calcium.

• Mechanism:

  • The “Concrete” of Bone: Bone is made of a crystal called Hydroxyapatite . This crystal is composed of Calcium and Phosphate. Taking Calcium alone without Phosphorus (if your diet is low in P) can limit bone formation.

     

  • Vitamin D3: Acts as the “Gatekeeper,” opening the channels in the intestine to let Calcium and Phosphorus enter the blood.

• Key Indications:

  • Pregnancy & Lactation: The fetus drains massive amounts of Phosphorus from the mother. DCP replenishes this better than Calcium Carbonate.

  • Growing Children: Essential for the rapid lengthening of long bones.

  • Geriatric Osteoporosis: Preventing bone fragility in the elderly.

6. Export and Regulatory Support

• Dossier Support: CTD / ACTD available.

• Certificates: Free Sale Certificate (FSC), COPP (WHO-GMP), and COA.

• Logistics: Efficient shipping via Air or Sea (FOB Mumbai / CIF).

7. Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Who manufactures these tablets?

  A: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. manufactures them in India.

• Q: Is it better than Calcium Carbonate?

  A: For specific cases, Yes. If you need Phosphorus (like in pregnancy or poor diet), DCP is better. Calcium Carbonate only provides Calcium.

• Q: Does it cause gas?

  A: No. Unlike Calcium Carbonate, Dicalcium Phosphate does not produce carbon dioxide gas in the stomach, so it causes much less bloating and burping.

• Q: Can I take it with Iron?

  A: No. Calcium and Phosphate both block iron absorption. Separate them by at least 2 hours.
