What is Fultium D3?

Fultium D3 is a vitamin D supplement used to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency in adults and children over 12 years old. It contains cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), which helps the body absorb calcium to support strong and healthy bones. Each capsule provides 800 IU (20 micrograms) of vitamin D.

How Does Fultium D3 Work?

Vitamin D is mainly obtained from sunlight exposure and certain foods like oily fish and dairy products. However, some people do not get enough sunlight due to factors such as:

• Limited outdoor exposure (e.g., elderly individuals, housebound people)
• Wearing clothing that covers the skin
• A diet lacking in vitamin D

Fultium D3 helps increase vitamin D levels, which allows the body to absorb more calcium from food. This prevents bone weakening (osteomalacia) and supports bone strength. It is often combined with calcium supplements to help manage conditions like osteomalacia and osteoporosis.

Benefits of Taking Fultium D3

• Prevents and treats vitamin D deficiency
• Supports calcium absorption for stronger bones
• Reduces the risk of osteomalacia and osteoporosis
• Helps maintain overall bone and muscle health

Fultium D3 is particularly important for those who get limited sun exposure or have a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency.
