What does it do?

Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D, which helps to enhance the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the body. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for regulating calcium metabolism in patients with hypoparathyroidism or chronic kidney failure.

Calcitriol increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, raising blood calcium levels. It also aids in the reabsorption of calcium from the bones, contributing to bone health.
