Add3 60000 IU Capsule 4 contains vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol (2000 IU). Here's how it works:

Enhances absorption: Calcitriol binds to receptors in your intestines and enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
Supports bone mineralisation: In your bones, calcitriol aids in producing the proteins necessary for bone mineralisation.
Regulates hormone secretion: Calcitriol also helps regulate the secretion of parathyroid hormone, which assists in maintaining calcium balance in your body.
