LECALCIF contains cholecalciferol, an equivalent of vitamin D3, and is essentially a dietary / food supplement (not a drug). Lecalcif 25,000 IU is used for the initial treatment of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is different from all other vitamins, because it is actually a pro-hormone that is synthesized in our skin when it is exposed to the sun, for example when we are sunbathing.
The importance of vitamin D
If the body does not synthesize enough vitamin D, there is a risk of developing bone abnormalities such as soft bones (osteomalacia) or brittle bones (osteoporosis). Vitamin D also helps:
in the better functioning of the nervous system
complementary to the treatment of depression
in strengthening mental functions and memory.
in reducing the risk of developing multiple sclerosis
in reducing the chances of heart disease
in reducing the possibility of severe symptoms due to all kinds of flu.
Vitamin D And Depression Taking Lecalcif And Dosage
Studies have shown a link between vitamin D deficiency and depression. People with depression often have low levels of vitamin D, and conversely, those with low vitamin D are at greater risk for developing depression.
