Colecalciferol Capsules contain the active ingredient colecalciferol. Colecalciferol is a form of vitamin D used in the initial treatment of clinically relevant vitamin D deficiency conditions in adults.

Colecalciferol 20 000 IU Capsules contain the equivalent of 500 micrograms vitamin D3 which is involved in bone formation. The active ingredient, colecalciferol, is identical to the vitamin D3 that is found in the human body.

Deficiency of vitamin D may occur when your diet or lifestyle does not provide you with enough vitamin D or when your body requires more vitamin D.

How to take:

• 1 capsule twice per week (equivalent to 40,000 IU/week) for 7 weeks (corresponding to a loading dose of 280,000 IU).

Maintenance therapy with lower doses of vitamin D equivalent to 800 to 1000 IU daily may be considered one month after the end of initial treatment with Colecalciferol 20,000 IU Capsules. For this purpose other preparations are available. Please see my Vitamin D products for your maintenance dose.

Not to be used for children under the age of 12
