What does it do?

Dry cholecalciferol is a form of vitamin D3, mainly used in pharmaceuticals to assist in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of bones and teeth and preventing osteoporosis.

In the body, dry cholecalciferol is converted to active vitamin D, which increases the absorption of calcium in the intestines. This helps maintain blood calcium levels and facilitates the formation and maintenance of bones.

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