OsteVit-D One-a-Week Vitamin D3 (7000IU) 10 Capsules
Description:
OsteVit-D One-A-Week capsules are used for the treatment of a vitamin D deficiency in adults and adolescents. It is also used for the prevention of vitamin D deficiency in high risk individuals.
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus, for strong, healthy bones and teeth. A diet with not enough calcium can lead to osteoporosis later in life. OsteVit-D One-A-Week is not a source of calcium.
It is unlikely that adequate vitamin D levels can be achieved through the diet.
The main source of vitamin D is from the sun, however deficiency is common and it should not be assumed that Australians get enough vitamin D from the sun. People who may be at risk of being deficient are the elderly (particularly those in residential care), people with skin conditions where avoidance of sunlight is advised, those with dark skin (particularly if veiled) and those with malabsorption.
Ingredients:
Each capsule contains 175 mcg of cholecalciferol (vitaminD3 7000IU) as the active ingredient.
It also contains:
- soya oil
- coconut oil
- gelatin
- glycerol
- black printing ink (Opacode S-1-17823)

Follow all directions given to you by your pharmacist or doctor carefully.
