200 VIGANTOL 1000 I.U. Vitamin D3 Tablets

VIGANTOL tablets can be taken to prevent vitamin D deficiency, to support rickets prophylaxis and osteoporosis therapy. The tablets contain vitamin D3 (colecalciferol). Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is important, among other things, for calicum balance, bone mineralization and the immune system. It is partly absorbed through food (fatty fish, egg), but the greater part is formed in the skin under UV radiation.

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to increased susceptibility to infections, fatigue, muscle weakness, aching limbs, impaired bone mineralization (rickets in children, osteomalacia in adults) and problems with calcium balance.

Indications for use of VIGANTOL 1000 I.U.:
