Calcium carbonate is a calcium salt and one of the most common sources of calcium in supplements. It is usually paired with vitamin D so that the body can make use of the calcium.
Orthopaedic surgeons, gynaecologists and general physicians recommend calcium regularly, especially for older patients and pregnant women. Almost every chemist stocks it, so the product is about price, packing and doctor coverage more than novelty.
Formulations on offer for Calcium Carbonate
Companies on this page list Calcium Carbonate as tablets, soft gelatin capsules, capsules, syrups and suspensions and dry syrups. In combination products it is most often paired with:
- Zinc
- Calcitriol
- Cholecalciferol
- Methylcobalamin
A practical step is to visit a few chemists in your area and see which Calcium Carbonate combinations sell before you fix the opening order. Speak to the company's area manager as well; they often know which Calcium Carbonate packs other partners reorder most.
Picking a Calcium Carbonate franchise partner
One Calcium Carbonate brand rarely keeps a distributor busy, so see what else in Pain, Inflammation and Ortho the company can supply. Compare PTR and PTS against the printed MRP to work out your real margin on each Calcium Carbonate pack. Make sure the monopoly rights cover Calcium Carbonate in the exact area you work, and ask what happens if targets are missed. Check the Calcium Carbonate pack design, shelf life on dispatch and how the company treats short-dated returns. Good companies send Calcium Carbonate visual aids, sample packs and literature with the first order without being asked.
Third-party production: what to send the plant
Fix the Calcium Carbonate composition and strength on paper before talking rates, so that every manufacturer quotes on the same product. Ask about the minimum order for Calcium Carbonate, the pack sizes possible and the packing material the plant uses. Check that the Calcium Carbonate product has the required permission, that stability data is available, and that the plant has FSSAI registration for nutraceutical versions, a drug licence for medicine versions, GST and Schedule M GMP at the plant.
