Plantcal Insta

Introduction

PlantCal Insta® is Pakistan’s first 100% plant-sourced calcium supplement, derived from Red Marine Algae (Lithothamnion sp.), naturally enriched with over 70 trace minerals including magnesium, boron, and iodine. Unlike traditional limestone or marble-based calcium supplements—which studies from the British Medical Journal (BMJ) have linked to a 30% higher risk of heart attack and stroke due to arterial calcification—PlantCal delivers a safer, natural form of calcium that supports bone health without increasing cardiovascular risk.

How It Works

PlantCal’s unique, porous honeycomb-like structure provides superior absorption and bioavailability.
It works through three key mechanisms:

1. Enhanced Solubility: The natural matrix allows quick ionization of calcium for better uptake.

2. Synergistic Minerals: Contains magnesium, boron, zinc, and iodine to support absorption and bone mineralization.

3. Guided Calcium Utilization: Vitamin K2 directs calcium to bones while preventing its deposition in arteries.

Primary Uses

• Supports bone strength and mineral density

• Helps prevent osteoporosis and fractures

• Promotes joint and muscle health

• Reduces risk of arterial calcification compared to rock-based calcium

• Aids in pregnancy and lactation for maternal bone support

Health Benefits

• Improves calcium absorption naturally without gastric irritation

• Enhances collagen formation and bone cell activity

• Strengthens nails, hair, and teeth

• Supports male fertility and overall vitality

• Safe for long-term use

Dosage

Adults: 1 sachet daily or as advised by a physician.
Dissolve in water and consume after a meal for optimal absorption.

Side Effects

Doctor Review

Dr. Nida Hussain, MBBS, FCPS (Endocrinology) – Consultant Metabolic Specialist:
“PlantCal’s marine-sourced calcium offers a superior and safer alternative to limestone-based supplements. Clinical evidence supports its role in improving bone mineral density while avoiding vascular calcification. The inclusion of Vitamin K2 and D3 ensures calcium is directed to the right places—bones, not arteries. For postmenopausal women and older adults, PlantCal stands out as a heart-friendly and scientifically balanced calcium option.”

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep sachets sealed until use.
