Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Caltsinova is a combination drug that contains a complex of vitamins and minerals, which are important elements of metabolic processes.
Calcium takes part in the formation of bone tissue, contraction of smooth and skeletal muscles, improves the transport of nerve impulses and blood clotting, and stabilizes the functioning of the heart.
Phosphorus, together with calcium, is involved in the formation of teeth and bones, and is also an important component of energy metabolism processes.
Vitamin D3 ensures proper mineralization of bones and teeth, as well as the absorption of phosphorus and calcium in the gastrointestinal tract and their proper absorption in dental and bone tissues.
Vitamin A takes part in the production of various substances (mucopolysaccharides, proteins, lipids) and ensures the full functioning of the organ of vision, as well as the skin and mucous membranes.
Vitamin B6 affects erythropoiesis, normalizes the functioning of the central nervous system and helps maintain the structure and function of gums, teeth, and bones.
Vitamin C is involved in the oxidation of some biologically active compounds, stimulates the synthesis of steroid hormones, regulates carbohydrate metabolism, metabolism in connective tissue, blood clotting and tissue repair, and normalizes capillary permeability. Vitamin C increases the body's immunity and resistance to infectious diseases, and also reduces the severity of inflammatory reactions.

Reviews
- Rimma, 34 years old. We drink Kaltsinova regularly, even though the child is already a schoolboy. When we were 5 years old, a doctor recommended us for prevention, saying active growth and all that. Plus, the trainer advises taking calcium supplements so that the skeletal muscles are formed correctly and cramps do not bother you during active training. No adverse reactions were observed, the tablets are colored, tasty, and my son eats them with pleasure. So we are happy with everything so far.
- Maria, 30 years old. Calcinova itself is a good drug. My son was prescribed it in the autumn-winter period for prophylaxis, from the age of three. But they decided to serve it to my youngest daughter, but it didn’t suit her. The allergy immediately broke out, although we still didn’t understand which component exactly; she’s not allergic to us in principle. We switched to —vitamins Alphabet for children—. This is also a good thing, even if the ingredients are not the same, but it is quite enough for prevention.
- Katerina, 29 years old. We tried to drink different vitamins for the growth of children, but the child in the kindergarten group was too different from his peers in size. We've tried everything in a year. And all without visible results. Runs, plays, is active, but does not grow. A friend advised me to try Kaltsinov as well. I won’t say that the child has grown by leaps and bounds, but there has been a positive trend. Periodically we take the course, then take a break, and again. We are waiting for more noticeable results.
- Victoria, 31 years old. The doctor prescribed us to take a course of Kaltsnov, my daughter’s skin was peeling all the time and her vision began to decline. They attributed it to hypovitaminosis. We drank it, there was no improvement, even itching appeared on the skin. They refused, took a break and switched to -Supradin Kids-. This is the thing! The problem was resolved within the first two weeks of use. I still don’t understand why the previous complex is being praised so much.
- Lilia, 28 years old. Our acquaintance with multivitamin preparations began with Univita Kids at the age of 5. My boy seemed to the doctor to be frail and often ill. True, I personally did not notice any changes after taking it. Then I decided to try Kaltsinova, there are not many vitamins in the composition, but there are minerals, and calcium is always a good thing. The child began to get sick less often, and became less tired, and his vision improved. So for now we are very pleased with this particular complex.
