Decara High Potency Vitamin D3 25,000 IU
Brand: Medecor Pharma
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Decara features Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) at 25,000 IU. At the cellular level, this fat-soluble secosteroid binds to the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) in the nucleus of intestinal cells. This binding triggers the transcription of genes responsible for calcium-binding proteins (like calbindin). Consequently, this significantly enhances the active transport of calcium and phosphate across the intestinal barrier into the bloodstream. It is essential for maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis, which drives muscle contraction and bone mineralization. Without sufficient Vitamin D3, this genetic signaling fails, leading to poor mineral absorption.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports calcium absorption for bone density
- Contributes to normal immune system function
- Aids in maintaining normal muscle function
- Helps regulate mood and reduce fatigue
Usage & Safety
Dosage: Take 1 capsule as directed by a physician. High-potency doses (25,000 IU) are typically for treating deficiency, not daily maintenance. Timing: Take with a meal containing healthy fats (like the included Soya Oil) to maximize absorption. Safety: Do not exceed recommended dose. Toxicity symptoms include nausea and confusion. Consult a doctor if you have liver/kidney disease or are taking thiazide diuretics.
