Forti-D®

Forti-D®

For the prevention and treatment of Vitamin D deficiency

This product contains Vitamin D. Vitamin D is required for normal bone formation. Vitamin D acts to maintain normal concentrations of calcium and phosphorous in plasma, mainly by facilitating calcium absorption from the small intestine and by enhancing the parathyroid hormone (PTH)-mediated mobilization of calcium and phosphorus from bone. The active form of Vitamin D increases the production of calcium-binding proteins in the lining of the small intestine. Vitamin D deficiency develops when both sunlight exposure and dietary intake are inadequate. Insufficiency is associated with negative calcium balance, bone loss, and increased risk of skeletal fracture.

Adult Dose:

Orally, one soft gelatin capsule once a day. Or, as directed by a doctor.

Dosing Instructions:

• Take each dose with a full glass of water.
• Doctors should consider the Vitamin D intake of their patients from other sources (i.e., dietary sources, other nutritional supplements) to avoid excessive Vitamin D intake.
