What does it do?

Concentrated cholecalciferol granules are a form of vitamin D3, used to promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the body. They are primarily included in medications for maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis. They are utilized to supplement vitamin D deficiency.

This ingredient increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, regulating the blood calcium concentration. This facilitates the supply of minerals necessary for bone formation and maintenance. It also helps in the remodeling of bone tissue and contributes to increased bone density.

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

Good to know

Unlike vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), concentrated cholecalciferol is of animal origin and is converted into the active form of vitamin D more effectively in the body. This results in a stronger effect on the regulation of calcium metabolism. Additionally, the granule form provides ease of intake.
