Medical Description
Calcigen D3 Capsule is a therapeutic and nutritional supplement that contains cholecalciferol, commonly known as Vitamin D3. It is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an indispensable role in maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis in the human body. Adequate Vitamin D3 levels are essential for proper growth, development, and bone and tooth mineralisation, as well as muscle, cardiovascular, and immune function.
When taken orally, the body activates cholecalciferol in two steps. The liver first metabolises it to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (calcidiol), the major circulating form and an indicator of Vitamin D status. The kidneys then further hydroxylate this intermediate to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol), the biologically active hormone. Calcitriol acts by binding to specific Vitamin D receptors located in various tissues, particularly in the intestines, kidneys, and bones. Its primary physiological effects include enhancing intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate, reducing renal calcium excretion, and promoting bone mineralisation and remodelling. It also regulates parathyroid hormone secretion, thereby preventing secondary hyperparathyroidism and maintaining stable serum calcium concentrations.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a spectrum of disorders, including rickets in children, osteomalacia in adults, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, hypocalcemia, and increased fracture risk. Modern lifestyles with reduced outdoor activity, heavy use of sunscreens, darker skin pigmentation, advanced age, and certain medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease, malabsorption syndromes, celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease contribute to widespread deficiency. Calcigen D3 Capsule can help restore and maintain optimal Vitamin D levels in these individuals.
Calcigen D3 Capsule may cause mild side effects like constipation, increased blood calcium or urine calcium levels, vomiting, and nausea, which typically resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or if you are allergic. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use, as Calcigen D3 Capsule can pass into breast milk. Caution is advised for those with hypercalcemia, renal impairment, heart diseases, kidney stones, or hypervitaminosis D.
Tell your doctor before you start if you have kidney disease or kidney stones, a high calcium level, sarcoidosis, or a heart condition treated with digoxin, and list every medicine and supplement you take. Sunlight and a diet rich in oily fish, egg yolk, and fortified foods can help.
