Ibuvit D3 2000 IU (international units) contains the active substance cholecalciferol, which is identical to vitamin D produced in the human body.

Vitamin D is found in some foods and is also produced in the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight.

Vitamin D increases calcium absorption from the intestines and reduces its excretion by the kidneys, which helps build bones. Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets (impaired bone mineralization in children) and osteomalacia (insufficient bone mineralization in adults).

Indications

Prevention of vitamin D deficiency and conditions resulting from vitamin D deficiency (e.g. rickets, osteomalacia) in adults with normal body weight and children and adolescents with normal body weight aged 11 years and over. Supportive treatment in osteoporosis in adults. Prevention of vitamin D deficiency in women planning a pregnancy, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in consultation with a doctor.
