Jarrow FORMULAS Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is derived from cod liver oil and sheep’s wool and is free of Vitamin A. Fat-soluble Vitamin D3 is converted by the kidneys into the hormone Calcitriol, the active form of Vitamin D3, which affects a variety of target tissues, including bone, intestine, muscle, brain, skin and immune cells. Calcitriol helps enhance calcium and phosphorous absorption and stimulates the synthesis of Osteocalcin, an important structural protein in bone. Also, Calcitriol is involved in proper cell differentiation (changing of cell function), including in prostate cells.

HEALTH CLAIM: Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.

Suggested Use: Take 1 softgel per day with a meal, or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.

Caution: DO NOT take more than 1 softgel per day without medical supervision. Consult physician if undergoing dialysis or if you have any kidney dysfunction, including stones.
