Ibuvit D3 4000 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. osteomalacia, osteoporosis) in adults with obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30].
