What is Fultium D3?

How Fultium D3 works

The active substance of Fultium D3 is cholecalciferol, or vitamin D. This vitamin is primarily obtained from the acting of the sunlight on your skin. Also, it can be obtained through a diet which is rich in dairy products and oily fish. Vitamin D deficiency may develop in cases of insufficient sunlight exposure. This happens with elderly people who are housebound or with reduced mobility, people covering the skin when outdoors, or if the diet lacks vitamin D.

This vitamin is necessary for proper absorption of calcium from your stomach. Deficiency of vitamin D may result in low levels of calcium and bone weakening. This kind of condition is called osteomalacia. Deficiency of vitamin D can be corrected by intake of vitamin D supplements which also improve calcium absorption from the stomach.

Osteoporosis and osteomalacia can be treated with vitamin D combined with calcium. The increase of calcium and vitamin D helps strengthen your bones.
