D3 50
D3 50 contains a high-potency dose of Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) equivalent to 50,000 IU. It is primarily prescribed for clinical management of severe vitamin D deficiency and associated bone disorders, helping the body efficiently absorb calcium and phosphorus.
Dosage by Body Weight
Take strictly as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Due to the high potency, it is commonly taken once weekly or once monthly, rather than daily. Swallow whole with water, preferably with a fat-containing meal to maximize absorption.
