About this deal

If your vitamin D levels are OK, or you want to prevent deficiency, you can buy lower dose colecalciferol from pharmacies and shops. Taking too much colecalciferol can cause calcium and phosphate to build up in your body (hypercalcaemia). Everyone can benefit from taking colecalciferol as a daily vitamin D supplement. Adults who are not at risk of vitamin D deficiency should consider taking a daily supplement of 10 micrograms of vitamin D during autumn and winter. Colecalciferol is also available in lower doses. You can take 400IU a day if you're an adult maintaining your vitamin D levels. Doses for children

Calcium is present in several foods - Good dietary sources of calcium include, dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, fortified dairy alternatives, such as soy milk, green leafy vegetables, such as kale, Chinese cabbage, and broccoli, canned sardines and salmon, tofu, fortified products, including breakfast cereals and fruit juices, nuts and seeds and legumes. There is also a type of vitamin D called calcipotriol, which sounds similar to colecalciferol. Calcipotriol is used to treat the skin condition caused by plaque psoriasis. Key facts For adults, if you're taking a loading dose for severe vitamin D deficiency you'll usually take it daily or weekly for 6 to 10 weeks.If you're taking colecalciferol capsules or tablets, swallow them whole with some water. Take them with your main meal of the day. Chewable tablets Colecalciferol comes as chewable, dissolvable (soluble) and melt-in-the-mouth (orodispersible) tablets, capsules, a syrup, and oral drops. Your colecalciferol liquid should come with a plastic syringe. If you do not have one, ask your pharmacist for one.

If you've had a loading dose but need to maintain your vitamin D levels, your doctor may prescribe a maintenance dose of 800IU to 2,000IU a day. Lower colecalciferol doses Adults who are at risk of vitamin D deficiency should take a daily supplement of 10 micrograms of vitamin D, throughout the year. If you have severe vitamin D deficiency, your doctor may prescribe a loading dose of up to 300,000IU. This can be taken as: Those most at risk from low levels of calcium include - Post-menopausal people, people of childbearing age with amenorrhea, people who do not consume dairy products, such as vegans or ovo -vegetarians, people with lactose intolerance who avoid dairy, Long-term deficiency in calcium or vitamin D can result in osteoporosis, where the bones become more fragile and prone to breaking.Colecalciferol doses are measured in international units (IU). 1 microgram of vitamin D is the same as 40IU. Adult loading doses Vitamin D deficiency is something of a global problem. It's estimated that around a billion people worldwide suffer from it. With serious health risks associated, it’s important to be aware that it’s a problem that affects your muscles, teeth and bones, not to mention mood and energy levels.

If you or your child's vitamin D levels are OK, your doctor may recommend safely increasing your exposure to sunlight and adding more foods that are high in vitamin D to your diet. Too little calcium in the body is known as hypocalcemia - Over time, a calcium deficiency may result in the following symptoms: muscle aches, pains, and cramps, tingling or numbness in the hands, arms, legs, feet, and around the mouth, fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, dry skin, nails, and hair Drop 1 tablet into a glass of water and as soon as it dissolves drink straight away. Do not chew or swallow the tablets whole.

The health benefits of taking vitamin D are well known and something we all have the potential to get something from. Low vitamin D is linked to osteoporosis when it’s severe and depression, low mood and muscle cramps when you’re consistently below the ideal levels. To maintain your vitamin D levels or prevent deficiency you'll usually take colecalciferol long term. The chances are you’re struggling to get all you need in winter, something that becomes even more of a problem if you have darker skin. For these reasons, you should consider taking SunVit D3 to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiencies. How many doses of SunVit D3 are there?
