Tovex

(10 × 1 × 10 Tablets)
Multi-ingredient bone support tablet combining Dalbergia sissoo plus key minerals and vitamin D

Bone support formulation aimed at supporting bone health and as a first line therapy for osteoporosis (not a stand-alone disease-modifying prescription like bisphosphonates, denosumab, or teriparatide).

Composition (Each Film-Coated Tablet Contains):

Ingredient Strength Functional Role
Dalbergia sissoo extract 600 mg Promotes Osteoblastic Activity and Down regulates Osteoclastic Activity
Calcium citrate-malate 1,200 mg a well-absorbed calcium salt used to supply elemental calcium for bone mineralization (form is generally better absorbed than calcium carbonate, and performs better when gastric acidity is low).
Vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol) 400 IU supports intestinal calcium absorption and normal bone remodelling.
Magnesium 100 mg co-factor for bone formation and for enzymes that regulate vitamin D and parathyroid hormone; contributes to bone mineral structure.
Zinc 7.5 mg required for osteoblast activity, inhibits osteoclastogenesis in some models; supports bone repair and matrix synthesis.
Boron 1.5 mg trace element that influences calcium, magnesium and vitamin D metabolism and may support bone density.

General Information:

A multi-ingredient bone support tablet combining Dalbergia sissoo plus key minerals and vitamin D to:

improve/maintain mineral supply for bone (calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron),

support calcium absorption (vitamin D₃), and

potentially provide additional osteogenic stimulus from the standardized Dalbergia sissoo extract (supported by preclinical and small clinical/standardized-extract reports). Use is as a supplement for people with osteoporosis or at risk of low bone mass — ideally under a clinician’s supervision.

Indications and Uses:

Primary indication (as written): dietary adjunct to support bone mineralization and to help maintain bone health in patients with osteoporosis.

Typical use cases: complement dietary calcium/vitamin D; support bone remodelling in postmenopausal osteoporosis or age-related bone loss when used with standard medical therapy and lifestyle measures (exercise, fall prevention). (Note: supplements should not replace prescription osteoporosis treatments when those are indicated.)

Mechanism of action & benefits (how each ingredient helps):

Dalbergia sissoo: Promotes Osteoblastic Activity and Down regulates Osteoclastic Activity

Calcium citrate-malate: supplies calcium in a highly soluble form; supports hydroxyapatite formation in bone and is efficiently absorbed even when gastric acidity is reduced. Adequate calcium intake is required to slow bone loss and support bone mineral density.

Vitamin D₃: increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, maintains serum mineral levels needed for normal bone mineralization and lowers risk of osteomalacia; adequate vitamin D also reduces falls/fracture risk when used at effective doses.

Magnesium: required for proper bone crystal formation and affects PTH and vitamin D metabolism; deficiency is associated with poorer bone microarchitecture.

Zinc: supports osteoblast function and matrix synthesis and may inhibit pathways that lead to bone resorption.

Boron: appears to enhance utilization of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D and influence oestrogen / testosterone metabolism, which can be relevant in postmenopausal bone loss.

Dosage and Administration:

  • Recommended Dose: 1 tablet daily after meals or as directed by your healthcare professional.
  • Route: Oral
  • Duration: Minimum 8–12 weeks for optimal results; may be continued for maintenance as advised.

Common Side Effects (Usually Mild & Temporary):

  • Mild gastric upset or constipation
  • Metallic taste or nausea
  • Headache or fatigue (rare)

These effects generally resolve upon continued use or dose adjustment.

Less Common / Rare Side Effects:

  • Hypercalcemia (only with excessive calcium intake)
  • Mild allergic rash (rare)
  • Soft tissue calcification if used with excessive vitamin D analogs (extremely rare)

Warnings and Precaution:

  • Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
  • Use only under medical supervision if you have kidney stones, renal impairment, or hypercalcemia.
  • Avoid high doses of additional vitamin D or calcium unless advised.
  • Pregnant and lactating women should consult a healthcare provider before use.
  • Maintain adequate hydration during therapy.
  • Regularly monitor serum calcium and vitamin D levels in long-term users.

Drug / Nutrient Interactions:

  • Thiazide diuretics: May increase calcium levels—use cautiously.
  • Anticoagulants (Warfarin): Vitamin K₂-7 may reduce anticoagulant effect—monitor INR.
  • Corticosteroids: May reduce calcium absorption—supplementation may be beneficial.
  • Iron, Tetracyclines, Fluoroquinolones: Calcium may interfere with absorption; take 2 hours apart.
  • Antiepileptics (Phenytoin, Phenobarbital): May increase vitamin D metabolism—adjust dose accordingly.

Contraindications:

  • Hypersensitivity to any ingredient
  • Hypercalcemia or hypervitaminosis D
  • Severe renal impairment or nephrolithiasis
  • Patients on chronic anticoagulant therapy without physician oversight

Storage:

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry, and dark place.
Protect from moisture.
Keep out of reach of children.

Do’s and Don’ts:

Do’s
  • Take the tablet after meals with water or milk.
  • Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein, leafy greens, and sunlight exposure.
  • Engage in regular weight-bearing exercises.
  • Continue physiotherapy and rehabilitation during fracture recovery.
Don’ts
  • Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
  • Avoid concurrent intake of multiple calcium or vitamin D supplements unless prescribed.
  • Do not consume with caffeine or alcohol immediately after dosing.
  • Avoid smoking, which interferes with calcium absorption.
