How It Works
Mechanism of action
Cholecalciferol is hydroxylated to calcitriol, the hormone that regulates calcium absorption, bone mineralization, and immune modulation. Compounded into custom high-dose or combination formulas for documented deficiency.
What compounding can change
When Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is compounded for one patient, your prescriber can choose the concentration, combine it with other ingredients, and pick the base. Commercial products come in fixed strengths and bases.
Safety Considerations
Please note: Compounded medications require a prescription from a licensed prescriber for an individual patient. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality. A compounded medication is not the same as, or a generic version of, any FDA-approved drug. This page is general information, not medical advice. Your prescriber decides whether a treatment is right for you and sets the final ingredients, strength and dosage form.
