Vit. D3 (100,000 iu/g)
Vitamin D3 (100,000 iu/g) is a supplement that helps the body absorb calcium. It is used to treat people who have a vitamin D deficiency or related disorder, such as rickets or osteomalacia.
Here are some benefits of Vitamin D3 (100,000 iu/g):
- Prevents tooth loss: Taking calcium and vitamin D3 by mouth appears to prevent tooth loss in elderly people.
- Reduces the risk of cavities: Taking vitamin D2 or D3 by mouth reduces the risk of cavities by 36% to 49% in infants, children, and adolescents.
- Helps prevent bone loss and bone breaks: Taking vitamin D3 by mouth along with calcium seems to help prevent bone loss and bone breaks in people with osteoporosis.
According to a systematic review and meta-analysis, vitamin D3 doses of ≥200,000 IU appear to be most effective in promoting vitamin D sufficiency. In a pilot randomized controlled trial, two oral doses of 100,000 IU of vitamin D3 were given to preschoolers with viral-induced asthma, resulting in a rapid rise in serum vitamin D.
There is no information regarding the recommended dosage of Vitamin D3 (100,000 iu/g) in the search results. However, most experts recommend not taking more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D a day. Taking more than this amount may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, and weakness.
