What does it do?

Concentrated cholecalciferol is a form of vitamin D3, used to help the body absorb calcium and phosphorus. It is primarily included in medications for maintaining bone health and preventing osteoporosis. It is a fat-soluble vitamin belonging to the vitamin D group.

Concentrated cholecalciferol is converted to active vitamin D in the body, promoting the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines. This helps to keep bones strong and supports skeletal health. It also plays a role in regulating blood calcium levels.

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 in the form of vitamin D3, which is activated more effectively in the body. As a result, its efficacy in promoting calcium absorption is superior. Additionally, it is present in a concentrated form, allowing sufficient effects with a smaller amount.
