CHOLECALCIFEROL...60000IU – When the amount of vitamin D in the diet is insufficient, cholecalciferol-60000IU (vitamin D3) is taken as a dietary supplement. Older adults, breastfed infants, persons with dark skin, obese people, those who get little sun exposure, and people with gastrointestinal disorders (GI; affecting the stomach or intestines) like Crohn's disease or celiac disease are the ones most at risk for vitamin D insufficiency.
Along with calcium, cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) at a dose of 60000 IU is also used to prevent and cure bone conditions such as osteoporosis, rickets, and osteomalacia, which are caused by a shortage of vitamin D in adults and children, respectively (a condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily).
The body needs cholecalciferol at a dose of 60000 IU for strong bones, muscles, and nerves as well as to maintain the immune system. It helps the body to absorb more calcium through meals or supplements.
Usage:
The oral dosage forms of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) are capsule, gel capsule, chewable gel (gummy), tablet, and liquid drops. Depending on the preparation, your age, and your health condition, it is typically taken once or twice a day (s). Although Cholecalciferol-60000IU is available over the counter, your doctor may prescribe it to address a variety of medical issues. Before using a Cholecalciferol-60000IU (vitamin D) supplement, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Take 60000IU of cholecalciferol each day at roughly the same time. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any instructions you do not understand, and carefully follow the guidelines on your product's label or your doctor's instructions.
