Mechanism of Action

Provical-Max Softgel contains active ingredients that work together to support bone health and address vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Calcitriol, a form of vitamin D, helps the body absorb calcium from the diet and promotes its utilization in bone formation. Calcium citrate provides supplemental calcium, which is essential for maintaining strong bones. Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate plays a role in bone metabolism and supports the immune system. Methylcobalamin and L-Methyl Folate are forms of vitamin B12 and folic acid, respectively, that are important for the production of red blood cells and nerve function. Boron is a trace mineral that supports bone health, and Magnesium Oxide is involved in numerous cellular processes, including bone formation.
