Calcium dobesilate reduces leg cramps
Calcium dobesilate for chronic venous insufficiency: a systematic review.
Most Relevant Research
We examined the benefits of calcium dobesilate for patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), particularly focusing on how it impacts symptoms like leg cramps. In a systematic evaluation of ten different clinical trials involving 778 patients, we compared the effects of calcium dobesilate to a placebo.
Our analysis found that calcium dobesilate significantly reduced night cramps, helping patients nearly twice as much as those who received a placebo. The number needed to treat for this relief was calculated to be 8, indicating that for every eight patients treated with calcium dobesilate, one experienced noticeable improvement.
Moreover, patients also reported less discomfort, with a number needed to treat of 4 for that symptom. Interestingly, we noted that those with more severe symptoms experienced even greater relief, suggesting that calcium dobesilate is particularly effective for patients with advanced CVI. However, both doses tested—1,000 mg and 1,500 mg—proved equally effective, which is good news as it suggests that a lower dose might suffice.
Additionally, we found that adverse events were not significantly different from the placebo group, indicating a favorable safety profile. While calcium dobesilate shows promise, we acknowledge the need for further studies to solidify these findings and explore its efficacy in various CVI stages.

Improved leg cramps
Most Useful Review
I am pregnant and aware of the benefits of vitamins for my baby. My mother experienced significant dental issues after pregnancy. Despite this, I hear concerns about chemical vitamins during pregnancy. On my doctor's advice, I chose calcium supplements. Within 5-6 days, I noticed my night-time muscle cramps had vanished. I found this vitamin complex very effective. I'll continue using it during breastfeeding, as I need to maintain my calcium intake.

Calcium and vitamin D reduce fractures
Calcium plus vitamin D supplementation and risk of fractures: an updated meta-analysis from the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
Most Relevant Research
We examined a collection of randomized controlled trials to determine the impact of calcium plus vitamin D supplementation on fracture prevention.
The results revealed a promising 15% reduction in total fractures and a remarkable 30% drop in hip fractures among those taking these supplements.
This convincing evidence supports the recommendation of calcium and vitamin D for reducing fracture risk, especially in older adults, whether living at home or in care facilities.

Lifesaver for bones
Most Useful Review
This product has been a lifesaver for my bones. At age 63 with osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and degenerative disc disease, I faced multiple breaks. Since my doctor recommended this over two years ago, I’ve only had one break from a fall, and it strengthens my bones.

Vitamin D3 correction improves pain
Role of Pre-operative Correction of Vitamin D3 Deficiency in Controlling Post-operative Bone Pain after Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the impact of vitamin D3 levels on bone pain that patients experience after undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The study involved 240 participants who were divided into three groups based on their vitamin D status—some received treatment before surgery, some after, and others had normal levels to begin with.
By administering vitamin D3 in three doses, we aimed to see if correcting deficiencies could alleviate post-operative bone pain. Throughout the recovery period, we measured pain levels using the visual analog scale at various intervals after the surgery.
Our findings clearly demonstrated that patients who corrected their vitamin D3 deficiency before surgery reported significantly better pain control after the operation compared to those who were treated afterwards or those who started with adequate levels. This highlights the importance of testing and addressing vitamin D status prior to orthopedic procedures, showing that it is a modifiable risk factor affecting recovery.

Improved bone density
Most Useful Review
Better with slow release. Since switching from regular Citracal, I've felt better absorption throughout the day, crucial for my osteoporosis. My parathyroid surgeon recommended Citracal, and I noticed my bone density has improved, all while managing without Reclast. No broken bones now, thankfully.
