SUPLECAL acts as diet supplement. Each capsule contains 500 Milligrams (mg) of pure bio-available calcium carbonate.

The announcement was made by chemical engineer and Master in Sciences Yarelys Martin on Wednesday. She explained that the calcium carbonate is extracted from discarded fragments of the coral plant "Porites-Porites", used for bone implants.
At clinical trials, SUPLECAL proved its effectiveness in preventing calcium deficiency and restoring normal serum concentrations. It seems that it can also be used in preventing osteoporosis.

Specialists recommend taking one or two capsules a day along with meals.
SUPLECAL was approved for commercialization in 2008. This year's estimated production is of 2,000 bottles; therefore, it would only be available in pharmacies in Havana City. But as production expands, it would be sold through out the country.
