Product introduction
Tayo Tablet combines calcium with vitamin D3 in a single daily tablet, designed for people whose diet doesn't supply enough calcium on its own. The vitamin D3 component helps the body absorb the calcium more effectively rather than letting it pass through unused. It's typically prescribed for longer-term bone support rather than a quick fix, and results build up gradually over weeks to months. Because it affects calcium levels in the blood, it needs to be taken exactly as your doctor recommends.
Storage: Store below 25°C, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight
