Description
Calfen Sachet is a calcium and vitamin D3 supplement designed to help maintain strong bones, prevent calcium deficiency, and support healthy muscle and nerve function. It is especially useful in children, adolescents, pregnant or lactating women, and the elderly who have increased calcium and vitamin D requirements.
Each sachet provides a convenient, easy-to-dissolve powder form that ensures optimal absorption and palatability, often flavored for better compliance.

Each sachet typically contains:
- Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate): Essential for bone and teeth strength
