Constipation, nausea, and vomiting: Try taking the medicine with a meal to help reduce these gastrointestinal side effects.

Afd3 60000 IU Capsule 4 contains vitamin D3, also called cholecalciferol (2000 IU). Here's how it works:

Conversion to active form: Vitamin D3 is converted in the liver into 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which then undergoes further conversion in your kidneys into the active hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, or calcitriol.
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.
