Outcome Measures
| Outcome | Result | p-value |
|---|---|---|
| PRIMARY Amount of Calcium Excreted in Urine From 0 Hours up to 6 Hours Post Dose (Ca2+ Ae0-6h) |
1.07; 0.63 | — |
| PRIMARY Area Under the Curve From 0 to 6 Hours Post Dose of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH AUC0-6h) in Serum |
202.02; 278.86 | — |

Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the intestinal absorption of calcium from a newly developed calcium carbonate-vitamin D3 chewable tablet formulation increases the amount of calcium excreted in urine and decreases parathyroid hormone (PTH) in serum as compared to baseline.
