Vitamin D3 contains the active ingredient cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D. Vitamin D is normally obtained primarily from the sunlight acting on the skin. It is also available from a diet rich in oily fish and dairy products. A deficiency in vitamin D develop when there is inadequate exposure to sunlight, such as the elderly people who have reduced mobility or who are housebound, people who cover their skin when they go outdoors, or when there is lack of vitamin D in the diet.

Vitamin D is needed for the body to absorb calcium from the gut, and a vitamin D deficiency can lead to low calcium levels and the weakening of the bones. This condition is known as osteomalacia. Vitamin D supplements correct the deficiency in vitamin D and improve the absorption of calcium from the gut.

Vitamin D may be given in combination with calcium to treat osteomalacia and osteoporosis. Increasing vitamin D and calcium in the body will help strengthen the bones.

The benefits of taking Vitamin D3 include the prevention and treatment of vitamin D deficiency, which is responsible for the absorption of calcium from the gut. A low level of calcium will lead to the weakening of the bones, a condition known as osteomalacia. Vitamin D3 provides the body with the needed vitamin D that helps the body absorb calcium from the gut and prevent both osteomalacia and osteoporosis.

Follow the instructions of your doctor on how to take Vitamin D3, especially the number of capsules to take each day, which will depend on the severity of your vitamin D deficiency.
