Vitamin D has a well-established role in maintaining normal calcium levels and the growth and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. It can also help to reduce the risk of bone-weakening diseases such as osteoporosis, however the optimum supplement dosage still needs to be determined.
Vitamin D is an immune system regulator that helps to fight infections such as colds and flu. It does this by attacking and destroying damaging bacteria and viruses. Study findings suggest that low vitamin D levels significantly increase the risk of flu.
It is thought that vitamin D may help to protect people at a genetic level to fight chronic diseases such as heart disease, bone weakening diseases, and diabetes.
Colecalciferol Capsules contain the active ingredient colecalciferol. Colecalciferol is a form of vitamin D used in the initial treatment of clinically relevant vitamin D deficiency conditions in adults.
Colecalciferol 20 000 IU Capsules contain the equivalent of 500 micrograms vitamin D3 which is involved in bone formation. The active ingredient, colecalciferol, is identical to the vitamin D3 that is found in the human body.
Deficiency of vitamin D may occur when your diet or lifestyle does not provide you with enough vitamin D or when your body requires more vitamin D.
How to take:
Maintenance therapy with lower doses of vitamin D equivalent to 800 to 1000 IU daily may be considered one month after the end of initial treatment with Colecalciferol 20,000 IU Capsules. For this purpose other preparations are available. Please see my Vitamin D products for your maintenance dose.
