It is used to treat Vitamin D deficiency. It is also recommended to maintain strong bones and improve your bone mineral density in people with osteoporosis and bone disorders. The presence of Vitamin D3, a fat-soluble vitamin, helps the gut to absorb calcium from food. It also helps the body to maintain adequate levels of two minerals essential for bone health, calcium, and phosphorus. This further enables the body to preserve bone health. Our body makes Vitamin D when our skin gets exposed to the sunlight. Sunscreen, protective clothing, limited exposure to sunlight, dark skin, and age may reduce the absorption of sunlight. As a result, the rate of production of Vitamin D in the body gets affected and may result in Vitamin D3 deficiency. Thus, Vitamin D3 in this capsule may provide extra help in maintaining Vitamin D3 for better calcium absorption in the body. Along with that, this vitamin has a significant role in helping with the absorption of calcium and phosphates from the bowel. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recommends a daily supplement of 400 IU/day of Vitamin D3 for Indians, with an emphasis on outdoor activities to achieve adequate amounts of Vitamin D. Lack of Vitamin D can make you prone to numerous health complications such as osteoporosis, infections, allergies, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, tuberculosis, depression, and even cancer. It is advised to maintain the level of Vitamin D3 in the body. Do not take more than the recommended dose as it may lead to various side effects which can include excessive loss of calcium from the bones. If you have any doubt or wish to know the dose, consult your doctor before taking it.
