Drug Class: High-Dose Bone Health & Calcium Supplement | Form: Oral Sachet (dissolved in water) | Status: OTC Supplement — DRAP Registered | Pack: 10 Sachets | Manufacturer: Bin Sultan Pharma
What is Peridot Sachet?
Peridot is a high-dose bone health supplement by Bin Sultan Pharma combining Red Algae Calcium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, Vitamin C, B6, Magnesium, and Iron in a single daily sachet. It is designed to improve bone mineral density, correct severe nutritional deficiencies, and support healthy bone structure. The combination of Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2 is clinically significant — K2 directs calcium specifically into bones rather than soft tissues, maximising the bone-building benefit of high-dose calcium supplementation. ⚠️ At 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 per sachet, this product must only be used under medical supervision with regular blood level monitoring.
What is Peridot Used For?
- Improving bone mineral density and treating osteoporosis (ہڈیوں کا بھربھرا پن)
- Treatment of severe Vitamin D deficiency under medical supervision (وٹامن ڈی کی شدید کمی)
- Correcting calcium deficiency and supporting bone structure (کیلشیم کی کمی)
- Reducing fracture risk in osteoporotic patients (ہڈی کے ٹوٹنے کا خطرہ)
- Supporting bone recovery after fractures or orthopaedic surgery
- Preventing calcium deposition in arteries with Vitamin K2 (شریانوں میں کیلشیم)
- Supporting immune and muscle function with high-dose Vitamin D3
- Correcting multiple nutritional deficiencies affecting bone health
How Does Peridot Work?
Red Algae Calcium provides 1000mg of natural, bioavailable calcium — the primary structural mineral of bone. Vitamin D3 at 10,000 IU rapidly restores severely depleted Vitamin D levels, maximising calcium absorption in the gut. Vitamin K2 at 75mcg activates osteocalcin — a protein that binds calcium into bone matrix — and activates Matrix GLA Protein that prevents calcium from depositing in arteries and soft tissues. This D3-K2 combination ensures calcium goes where it is needed — into bones — rather than accumulating in blood vessels. Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic processes including bone mineralisation. Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis — the structural framework of bone. Vitamin B6 reduces homocysteine levels linked to increased fracture risk. Iron supports red blood cell formation and oxygen delivery to bone tissue.
Dosage and Administration
| Indication | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Severe Vitamin D deficiency & bone support | 1 sachet dissolved in water | Once daily — under medical supervision only |
⚠️ Dissolve one sachet completely in a full glass of water before drinking. Take with a meal containing fat — Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble and requires dietary fat for absorption. Do not use without medical supervision — 10,000 IU Vitamin D3 daily requires regular blood calcium and Vitamin D level monitoring to prevent toxicity. Always follow your doctor's prescribed duration of use.

Who Should NOT Take Peridot Sachets?
- Patients with hypercalcaemia — already high blood calcium (خون میں کیلشیم کی زیادتی)
- Patients with hypervitaminosis D — already excess Vitamin D levels
- Patients with kidney stones — high calcium and Vitamin D significantly increase risk (گردے کی پتھری)
- Patients with sarcoidosis or granulomatous diseases — dangerously heightened sensitivity to Vitamin D
- Patients with severe kidney disease — without nephrologist supervision
- Patients on Warfarin — Vitamin K2 directly affects blood clotting; INR will be affected
- Children — 10,000 IU Vitamin D3 is an adult therapeutic dose; never use in children
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women — only under specialist medical supervision at this dose
- Do not self-medicate — always use under doctor's guidance with blood monitoring
Side Effects
Common (often indicate excessive dosing):
- Mild nausea or stomach discomfort
- Constipation — increase fluid intake
- Mild headache
Serious (Stop immediately and seek medical attention if):
- Signs of hypercalcaemia or Vitamin D toxicity — excessive thirst, frequent urination, confusion, severe fatigue, muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat (یہ طبی ہنگامی صورتحال ہے)
- Kidney pain or significantly reduced urine output
- Severe nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
- Unusual bruising or bleeding changes — Vitamin K2 effect on coagulation
Drug Interactions
| Medicine / Substance | Possible Interaction |
|---|---|
| Warfarin (blood thinner) | Vitamin K2 directly reduces Warfarin effectiveness — serious INR disruption; avoid combination |
| Thiazide diuretics (e.g., Hydrochlorothiazide) | Increase calcium reabsorption — high-dose D3 raises hypercalcaemia risk significantly |
| Digoxin (heart medicine) | Hypercalcaemia from excess Vitamin D increases Digoxin toxicity risk |
| Anticonvulsants (e.g., Phenytoin, Carbamazepine) | Accelerate Vitamin D breakdown — monitor levels closely |
| Cholestyramine / Orlistat | Reduce fat-soluble vitamin absorption — separate doses and monitor D3 levels |
| Tetracycline / Fluoroquinolone antibiotics | Calcium and Iron reduce antibiotic absorption — take 2–3 hours apart |
| Other Vitamin D or Calcium supplements | Serious toxicity risk — never combine without doctor supervision |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why does Peridot contain both Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 together?
Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption but without K2, excess calcium can deposit in arteries and soft tissues. Vitamin K2 activates proteins that direct calcium specifically into bone — making the D3-K2 combination significantly safer and more effective for bone health than D3 alone.
Q: Is 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily safe?
10,000 IU is a therapeutic correction dose for severe deficiency — not a maintenance dose. It must only be taken for a doctor-prescribed duration with regular blood monitoring of calcium and Vitamin D levels to prevent toxicity.
Q: How long should Peridot Sachets be taken?
Duration is determined entirely by your doctor based on blood test results. Once Vitamin D levels are corrected, your doctor will reduce supplementation to a standard maintenance dose — continuing 10,000 IU indefinitely without monitoring carries a serious toxicity risk.
Q: Can Peridot Sachets be taken alongside osteoporosis medicines like bisphosphonates?
Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation is routinely recommended alongside bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis. However, separate the sachet from bisphosphonate doses by at least 2 hours and always inform your doctor about all supplements you are taking.

Peridot Sachets contain 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 — a high therapeutic dose that carries a real risk of toxicity if taken without medical supervision and regular blood monitoring. Always consult a qualified doctor before use. Never self-administer high-dose Vitamin D3 without confirmed deficiency and ongoing medical oversight.
