Information About Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is the most bioavailable form of vitamin D used to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency and support bone mineralisation in Singapore. Available as a 400 IU–5000 IU oral softgel capsule taken once daily with a fatty meal, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Vitamin D3 raises serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels approximately 1.7 times more effectively than D2 at equivalent doses — taking with dietary fat substantially improves its absorption as it is a fat-soluble vitamin. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Vitamin D3 online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
