Product Overview
Calcium deficiency is no longer restricted to old age. Across India, a growing number of women, children, working professionals and elderly patients are showing early signs of bone mineral loss, muscle cramps, fatigue and joint weakness.
According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) and reports by the ICMR – National Institute of Nutrition, inadequate dietary calcium intake is highly prevalent among Indian households

This is the reason why doctors are now shifting from ordinary calcium suspensions to more absorption-focused calcium formulations like Ziacal Suspension by Biozia Lifesciences Pvt. Ltd.
Ziacal is not positioned as “just another calcium syrup” — it is a daily bone nutrition therapy designed for real clinical outcomes and high patient retention.
Why Most Calcium Syrups Fail in Real Life
Many calcium suspensions look excellent on their labels, yet fail to deliver results in practice.
| Problem | Real Patient Experience |
|---|---|
| Poor absorption | No improvement in weakness or cramps |
| Chalky taste | Patient stops medicine in few days |
| Gastric irritation | Acidity, nausea, bloating |
| No synergistic minerals | Calcium wasted in urine |
| Heavy syrup base | Poor compliance in elderly & kids |
The NIH – Office of Dietary Supplements confirms that only 20–40% of ingested calcium is absorbed, and absorption declines sharply with age and vitamin-D deficiency.
