This is not the first time that Lundy Calcium has been named!
In October 2023, Beijing Langdi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was found to have low vitamin D3 content in 32 batches of the company's products in the 2023 national drug sampling inspection due to violations of the Drug Administration Law, which did not meet the regulations.

It's also exciting on the Internet
Netizens have posted condemnation:
"That's what the hospital prescribes!"
"After so many years of calcium, it's really made up for nothing!"
"Help! I'm pregnant and take this calcium tablet every day."
"It's so expensive, it's not qualified, it's really black!"
Because of this

On July 17, 2023, the website of the State Food and Drug Administration also issued a notice on the non-compliance of 49 batches of drugs. Among them, the calcium carbonate D3 granules produced by Langdi Pharmaceutical were monopolized for 32 times, and the non-compliant items were all vitamin D3 content determination standards.
For this vitamin D3 test failed! Lendit explained: "Certified by third-party authoritative experts, vitamin D3 is easy to cause instability due to objective environmental factors such as temperature and transportation, but it will not cause harm to the human body. For the problems that have occurred this time, the company is working with relevant departments to further investigate the causes and make every effort to carry out feasible rectification measures. ”
On January 19, 2021, Lendit Pharmaceutical was also fined 198,937.50 yuan of illegal gains and fined 199,012.5 yuan by the Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Regulation for violating the first item of paragraph 3 of Article 98 of the Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China in 2019.

Although every time after being named
Lendit Pharmaceutical apologized as soon as possible
It also said that it will improve quality control and process requirements
But in less than a year
Named three times
Is this really changing?
According to the product description of "Lendit Calcium", the ratio of calcium to vitamin D3 is: each tablet (bag) contains 500 mg of calcium, and vitamin D3 contains 200 IU (international units). According to industry insiders, the actual content of vitamins in nutrient supplements should be within the range of 80%~150% of the labeled value.

Other words
Calcium carbonate D3 granules(II.)
Not even 80% of the declared value!
Although Lundy explained
The vitamin D3 content is slightly below the standard
It will not cause harm to the human body
But what we need to know is
Most of this product is sold to children, pregnant women, and the elderly!

These people are people who need to take calcium for a long time
For them
Inadequate calcium and vitamin D3 intake
It has the potential to affect the normal development and health of bones!

Although Lundy has many accolades
But time and time again, quality problems arise
It will inevitably chill the hearts of consumers!
Xiaobei likes what Dong Mingzhu said very much:
National standards are the bottom line of the law,
The quality is lower than the national standard,
It's illegal!
The Lendit incident is a wake-up call for consumers
When everyone buys calcium tablets
Be sure to do your homework
Don't just look at the merchant's promotion
It is also recommended not to take the same brand for a long time
After all, as the saying goes
Don't put your eggs in one basket!
