Overview
Adcal-D3 Chewable Lemon Tablets 1500mg/400IU in the 56-tablet pack provide the full-strength licensed calcium and Vitamin D3 combination in a refreshing lemon-flavoured chewable format and a practical one-to-two month supply. The 56-tablet pack is the natural starting point for patients new to Adcal-D3 who want to try the lemon-flavoured format before committing to the larger 112-tablet pack, and it aligns perfectly with a monthly prescription dispensing cycle at the commonly prescribed two-tablet daily dose. Lemon-flavoured Adcal-D3 is particularly valued by those who prefer a lighter, less sweet taste — the lemon provides a clean, refreshing character that many patients find genuinely pleasant for a daily supplement.
Each tablet delivers the complete therapeutic combination: Calcium Carbonate 1500mg providing 600mg elemental calcium, alongside Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 400IU (10 micrograms). Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function, and normal nerve transmission. Vitamin D3 contributes to normal immune function, normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function, and normal calcium and phosphorus absorption — all EU/UK approved health claims. The full therapeutic dose is delivered in a single tablet — no dose calculations or doubling required.

Adcal-D3 Chewable Lemon Tablets 1500mg/400IU 56 are available from Pearl Chemist Group. Those who have confirmed lemon-flavoured Adcal-D3 suits their daily routine and want a longer supply will find the 112-tablet lemon format offers the best per-tablet value.

FAQs
Why is the 56-tablet pack the right starting point for lemon-flavoured Adcal-D3?
The 56-tablet pack provides one to two months of supply — enough to fully establish whether lemon-flavoured Adcal-D3 suits a patient's daily routine before committing to the larger 112-tablet format. For patients on monthly prescription cycles, 56 tablets at two-per-day provides exactly 28 days — a perfect monthly supply. Those who find the lemon format works well for them will typically step up to the 112-tablet pack thereafter for better per-tablet value.
Is lemon-flavoured Adcal-D3 the same as the original Adcal-D3 in terms of active ingredients?
Yes — the active ingredients are identical: Calcium Carbonate 1500mg (600mg elemental calcium) and Vitamin D3 400IU per tablet. The only difference between lemon-flavoured and other variants is the flavouring and excipient profile of the tablet. The clinical dose and therapeutic indication are the same across all 1500mg/400IU chewable variants.
How does the lemon flavour help with long-term supplementation adherence?
Supplementation for bone health is a long-term commitment — patients on osteoporosis treatment may take daily calcium and Vitamin D3 for years. The single most common reason patients stop taking calcium supplements is the unpleasant chalky taste and texture of unflavoured preparations. The lemon flavour transforms the daily dose from a medicinal obligation into a genuinely pleasant experience, meaningfully improving the likelihood of consistent daily adherence over the long term. The refreshing, lightly acidic lemon character balances the natural alkaline taste of calcium carbonate particularly well.
Can I take Adcal-D3 with my morning cup of tea or coffee?
Avoid taking Adcal-D3 with tea or coffee specifically. Both tea and coffee contain polyphenols and tannins that can reduce calcium absorption when consumed at the same time. Ideally take Adcal-D3 with a meal and a glass of water, leaving the tea or coffee until after the meal if preferred. This small adjustment maximises the calcium absorbed from each dose.
What is the evidence that calcium and Vitamin D reduce fracture risk?
Multiple large clinical trials and meta-analyses have examined the effect of combined calcium and Vitamin D3 supplementation on fracture risk in older adults. The evidence is strongest for hip fracture reduction in institutionalised elderly patients and in those with confirmed deficiency. The RECORD, CAIFOS, and multiple other trials contribute to a body of evidence supporting combined calcium and Vitamin D supplementation in the context of osteoporosis management. Current UK NICE and NOGG guidelines recommend calcium and Vitamin D supplementation alongside bone-protective pharmacological treatment.
How long does 56 tablets last?
At one tablet daily: 56 days — nearly two months. At two tablets daily (a common prescribed dose): 28 days — exactly one month. The 56-tablet pack is therefore the ideal format for monthly prescription collection or for an initial trial before committing to the larger supply.
Does taking calcium with Vitamin D at this dose risk hypercalcaemia?
In healthy adults without the specific risk factors outlined in the warnings above (hypercalcaemia, sarcoidosis, severe renal failure, calcium kidney stones), taking Adcal-D3 at the recommended dose does not cause hypercalcaemia. The 400IU Vitamin D3 per tablet is well within safe supplementation levels for adults. The conditions under which hypercalcaemia risk is elevated are specific and pre-existing — they are not created by standard Adcal-D3 use in previously healthy individuals.
