Alcidol Source of Vitamin D Food Supplement
Alcidol Capsules are a food supplement containing alfacalcidol (vitamin D3), available in 0.25mcg, 0.5mcg and 1mcg strengths, supplied in 30-capsule packs. They are designed to support normal vitamin D and calcium metabolism as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Vitamin D plays a key role in helping the body absorb calcium, which is important for maintaining normal bones and teeth. Alfacalcidol is a form of vitamin D used in supplements to support this natural process.
With multiple strengths available, Alcidol allows flexible supplementation depending on individual needs or professional advice. As a food supplement, it is intended for nutritional support rather than medical treatment.
Vitamin D contributes to:
-
The normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
-
The maintenance of normal bones
-
The maintenance of normal muscle function
-
The normal function of the immune system
Acidol Capsules are intended to support general nutritional intake where vitamin D supplementation is appropriate. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any medical condition.
Suitable for adult use only.
Always take as directed on the label. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
