What does it do?

Cholecalciferol concentrate is a form of vitamin D3 that acts as vitamin D in the body. It is used in pharmaceuticals primarily to help absorb calcium and phosphorus and strengthen bones. It is used to prevent or treat vitamin D deficiency.

In the body, cholecalciferol is converted into active vitamin D in the liver and kidneys, which increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines. This helps maintain blood calcium levels and contributes to the formation and maintenance of bones. As a result, it aids in the prevention of bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
