Description

Here, are some pointers to know about our product Glucal Tablet.

Benefits 

Glucal is a dietary supplement typically used to support joint health, bone strength, and mobility, especially in people with osteoarthritis, joint pain, or bone mineral deficiencies.

1. Glucosamine (750 mg)

• Supports cartilage repair and regeneration.

• Reduces joint pain and stiffness, especially in osteoarthritis.

• Helps improve mobility and flexibility of joints.

• May slow down the degeneration of joint cartilage.

2. Chondroitin Sulfate (100 mg)

• Works synergistically with glucosamine to maintain healthy cartilage.

• Enhances shock absorption and joint lubrication.

• May reduce inflammation and joint discomfort.

3. Calcium Carbonate (500 mg)

• Provides elemental calcium (essential for bone strength and density).

• Helps prevent or manage osteoporosis and fractures.

• Supports nerve function, muscle contraction, and heart health.

4. Magnesium Oxide (100 mg)

• Important for calcium absorption and bone health.

• Supports muscle function, nerve transmission, and energy production.

• Helps prevent muscle cramps and weakness.

Possible Side Effects of Glucal Tablet

Though generally safe when used appropriately, some ingredients can cause side effects, especially in high doses or in people with sensitivities.

1. Gastrointestinal Issues

• Glucosamine, Magnesium Oxide, and Calcium Carbonate may cause:

  • Bloating

  • Nausea

  • Constipation or diarrhea

  • Stomach cramps or gas

Taking the tablet after meals can reduce these effects.

2. Allergic Reactions (Rare)

• Glucosamine is often derived from shellfish (shrimp/crab). If the product is from a shellfish source, it may trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals.

  • Symptoms may include: itching, rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing

Always check for shellfish allergy warnings on the label.

3. Mineral Overload or Imbalance

• Excess calcium can lead to:

  • Kidney stones

  • Constipation

  • Calcium buildup in arteries (rare)

• High magnesium in large doses may cause:

  • Diarrhea

  • Low blood pressure

  • Muscle weakness

One tablet daily is typically within safe limits, but long-term overuse may cause issues.

4. Drug Interactions

• Calcium and magnesium may interfere with:

  • Thyroid medications (levothyroxine)

  • Certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones)

  • Iron supplements

Separate intake by 2 hours from these medications.

5. Blood Sugar Effects

• Glucosamine may slightly raise blood sugar levels in some people (though evidence is mixed).

• Caution in diabetics or those with insulin resistance.
