Cifrazol

Cifrazol is an orally administered prescription Vitamin for the dietary management of patients with unique nutritional needs requiring increased folate levels, Vitamin D supplementation due to Vitamin D deficiency and other nutritional supplementation.

Cifrazol should be administered under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a white, crystalline powder, very soluble in water, with the following structural formula:

Each capsule contains:
Folic Acid: 1mg, Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): 3775IU

Each capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: Gelatin,Water, Soybean Oil, Yellow Wax, Lecithin,Glycerin, FD&C Red #40, FD&C Yellow #5, Titanium Dioxide.

The in vivo synthesis of the major biologically active metabolites of vitamin D occurs in two steps. The first hydroxylation of ergocalciferol takes place in the liver (to 25-hydroxyvitamin D) and the second in the kidneys (to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). Vitamin D metabolites promote the active absorption of calcium and phosphorus by the small intestine, thus elevating serum calcium and phosphate levels sufficiently to permit bone mineralization. Vitamin D metabolites also mobilize calcium and phosphate from bone and probably increase the reabsorption of calcium and perhaps also of phosphate by the renal tubules.

There is a time lag of 10 to 24 hours between the administration of vitamin D and the initiation of its action in the body due to the necessity of synthesis of the active metabolites in the liver and kidneys. Parathyroid hormone is responsible for the regulation of this metabolism in the kidneys.

This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Cifrazol is contraindicated in patients with hypercalcemia, malabsorption syndrome, abnormal sensitivity to the toxic effects of vitamin D, and hypervitaminosis D.

Take one capsule daily or as directed by a physician.
