Vitamin D3 Hevert

A healthy vitamin D level is necessary for a normal bone development and to remain strong and healthy. In addition, vitamin D supports the immune system and ensures strong muscles and vitality. In children, one of the most well-known consequences of vitamin D deficiency is rickets, while in adults it leads to softening of the bones, and in old age, it can result in the dreaded osteoporosis. However, vitamin D deficiency is also associated with diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, susceptibility to infections and certain tumor diseases. Experts therefore recommend having vitamin D levels checked and compensating for any deficiency that is detected.

Vitamin D production and diet

Vitamin D is produced in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and is also absorbed in small amounts through food. If you work predominantly in an office, deliberately avoid the sun and in the months of the year with less light (October to April), many people regularly have a vitamin D deficiency. As we age, our ability to produce our own vitamin D decreases considerably. As only a few foods contain higher amounts of vitamin D, a vitamin D deficiency cannot easily be compensated through diet.

How does Vitamin D3 Hevert work?

Regular intake of vitamin D3 tablets from Hevert prevents deficiency symptoms and their consequences. Together with a calcium-rich diet, Vitamin D3 Hevert ensures healthy bone growth and prevents a porous, brittle bone structure. Vitamin D3 Hevert is well tolerated and also suitable for infants and small children. Just 1 tablet a day can prevent a vitamin D deficiency.

Microencapsulated vitamin D3 for optimum stability

Vitamin D3 Hevert contains valuable microencapsulated vitamin D3 in a dosage of 1000 IU per tablet. Microencapsulated vitamin D3 is a form of vitamin D that is encapsulated in tiny capsules to improve its stability and thus maintain the best possible efficacy. These capsules consist of a shell that encloses the vitamin D3 and protects it from external influences such as light, oxygen and moisture. As a result, the vitamin D3 remains stable for longer and can enter the body better protected before it is released.

Vitamin D3 Hevert – for active immune defense, strong bones and increased vitality

Why daily intake is better

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is formed in the skin through sunlight or taken orally, is only available in the body for a short time (half-life approx. 24 hours). In order for the vitamin to develop all its effects optimally, it should therefore be taken daily.

Hevert offers other vitamin D preparations in different strengths and dosage forms and also as combination preparations – the right preparation for everyone.

Vitamin D3 Hevert is particularly suitable

In old age (reduced endogenous production of vitamin D)
For increased susceptibility to infections
For babies and young children (rickets prophylaxis)
For the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis
For increased vitamin D requirements (e.g. during pregnancy and breastfeeding)

The active ingredients

COLCAL
Colecalciferol

Dosage

Unless otherwise prescribed, the following dosage is recommended: Take ½ tablet daily as a preventive measure if there is a recognizable risk of vitamin D deficiency. For the supportive treatment of osteoporosis 1 tablet daily. To prevent rickets, take ½ tablet daily, 1 tablet daily for premature babies. The tablets should be taken with sufficient liquid. During long-term treatment with vitamin D3, blood and urine calcium levels should be checked and kidney function monitored by measuring serum creatinine. This is particularly important in elderly patients and those receiving concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides or diuretics. Dose reduction or interruption is recommended if the urinary calcium level exceeds 7.5 mmol/24 h. The tablets have a score line for splitting in half.

Use during pregnancy: During pregnancy, Vitamin D3 Hevert should only be taken according to strict indications and only in doses that are absolutely necessary to correct the deficiency. Overdoses of vitamin D during pregnancy must be prevented, as prolonged hypercalcemia can lead to physical and mental disability as well as congenital heart and eye diseases in the child.
