The main causes of calcium deficiency in the body are poor nutrition and various pathological changes in which its absorption in the intestine is disturbed.
And when hypovitaminosis D occurs with a small intake of this microelement with food, then this condition develops at an even greater rate. Also, the functioning of the thyroid and parathyroid glands affects calcium metabolism.
This trace element becomes necessary in such pathologies as allergic changes in the blood coagulation system in chronic and acute course, skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis, etc.). Physiological conditions such as pregnancy, phases of active growth, etc. require additional intake of calcium in the body.

In addition, the drug has a regulatory effect on the flow of calcium into the brain.
Silicea plays a role in the exchange of silicon in the body, in the normalization of the state of the nervous system, optimization of the ratio of processes of both excitation and inhibition in the cortical structures of the hemispheres, improves the trophism of all tissues.

Research data
When observing children up to six months with early clinical signs of rickets, which were manifested by neurological symptoms (sleep disturbance in the form of its shallow form and insufficient duration, anxiety, irritability, sweating in the back of the head), there was a positive trend in the normalization of metabolic processes on background of drug use.
After using the drug for the treatment of infants inIn the amount of 3 granules before feeding in 1-2 doses per day (without the addition of vitamin therapy), repeated examinations by pediatricians showed that the effectiveness was noted in almost every child. In children, all phases of sleep returned to normal, irritability and tearfulness decreased. This manifested itself after a week of therapy. From the 3rd week after the start of treatment, sweating in the occipital region decreased. Also, mothers noted an improvement in appetite, normalization of the functioning of the stomach and intestines. In children who suffered from manifestations of the exudative-catarrhal form of diathesis, there was a significant positive trend in the condition of the skin. The use of the drug in all children was noted to be well tolerated. There were no undesirable manifestations during the period of therapy.
Thus, complex treatment with the appointment of this remedy in diagnosing the manifestations of early rickets (neurological symptoms) turned out to be quite effective. There was a decrease in pathological manifestations of the central nervous system and autonomic parts of the nervous system.
