Frequently asked questions
How to eat Calcirol sachet?
The recommended dose is 1 sachet per day, preferably during meals. All you have to do is pour the contents of the sachet into a glass of water or milk. Stir with a spoon to ensure all the constituents are mixed properly and drink up.
What is the best time to take Calcirol?
Though vitamin D3 capsules can be taken with or without food, these capsules are best absorbed when taken orally after a meal. Ideally, vitamin D3 supplements should be taken along with the largest meal of the day or with milk.
Which form of Vitamin D is best?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin which is naturally present in very few foods. Vitamin D supplements are available in two forms: vitamin D2 (“ergocalciferol” or pre-vitamin D) and vitamin D3 (“cholecalciferol”). While vitamin D2 is produced in plants and fungi, vitamin D3 is produced in animals, including humans. Both these forms (vitamin D2 and D3) are available as over-the-counter (OTC) dietary supplements in medical stores. While vitamin D2 has been used in prescription medicines for a long time, vitamin D3 is also found to be equally effective in boosting vitamin D levels. Hence, irrespective of the form of the supplement, it is advised to ensure your daily intake of this vitamin, either through diet or supplement.
Can I take Calcirol with milk?

Is it better to take vitamin D every day or once a week?
The dosage of vitamin D will depend on the levels of vitamin D3 in your body and your health problem (which includes the severity of your condition). So, it would be best to consult your doctor for a detailed analysis of your condition and your dose requirement. However, certain studies have proved that daily vitamin D was more effective than weekly. So talk to your doctor to know the right dose suitable for you.
