Additional information

Description

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is an essential vitamin that can be taken as a supplement to improve overall health or used for treating osteoporosis. Vitamin D acts through a receptor that is a member of the ligand-dependent transcription factor superfamily. Modulates the proliferation and differentiation of both normal and cancer cells. Has antiproliferative and antimetastatic effects on breast, colon, and prostate cancer cells. Activated vitamin D receptors in intestine and bone maintain calcium absorbance and homeostasis.
