Composition

• Active Ingredient: Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) 50,000 IU

• Dosage Form: Oral capsule

• Route of Administration: Oral

Mechanism of Action

Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is converted in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], and then in the kidneys to the active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]:

• Enhances intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, critical for bone formation and mineralization

• Regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis, maintaining normal bone density and skeletal strength

• Supports immune function, aiding the body in fighting infections and inflammation

• Influences muscle function, reducing the risk of falls in elderly patients

Defrol’s high-potency formulation allows for rapid replenishment of vitamin D stores in deficient individuals, providing an effective strategy for correcting insufficiency and maintaining long-term bone and metabolic health.
