How it works

Cholecalciferol is the natural form of Vitamin D3 produced in your skin when exposed to sunlight. Once taken, it is converted in the liver and kidneys into its active form called calcitriol. This active form helps your intestines absorb calcium and phosphorus from food, maintains proper calcium levels in blood, and supports bone mineralization. It also plays a role in muscle function and immune system health.

Kidney problems: Use with caution if you have kidney disease. Your doctor may need to adjust the dose and monitor calcium levels.
