Description
Cipcal D3 granules contain Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), which is an essential fat-soluble vitamin required for maintaining bone and overall health. Vitamin D3 helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine, thereby ensuring proper bone formation, growth, and repair. It is also known as the “sunshine vitamin” since it is naturally synthesised in the skin upon exposure to sunlight.
Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly common due to modern indoor lifestyles, limited sun exposure, and dietary insufficiency. Low levels of Vitamin D can lead to bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, rickets in children, and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in adults. Cipcal D3 granules provide a concentrated form of Vitamin D3 and are usually prescribed for individuals with low vitamin D levels, bone-related disorders, or conditions with increased vitamin D demand.
Since it is a fat-soluble vitamin, Cipcal D3 should be taken after meals to ensure better absorption. Treatment duration and dosage depend on the severity of the deficiency and should always be taken under medical supervision.
