Frequently asked questions about Alpha D3 Products
Frequently asked questions about Alfacalcidol
Q. Why should I take alfacalcidol?
You have been prescribed Alpha D3 0.5mcg Capsule to improve the level of vitamin D in your blood.
Q. What happens if vitamin D is low?
Vitamin D is essential for strong bones because it helps the body use calcium from the diet. A low level of vitamin D causes weak bones, bone pain, and muscle weakness. It can also lead to various bone disorders like osteoporosis and fractures (broken bones).
Q. How do you test for vitamin D?
The 25-hydroxy vitamin D test is the most accurate way to measure how much vitamin D is in your body. A health care professional will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. The sample is then sent to a laboratory to determine if you have too much or too little vitamin D in your blood.
Q. What is the normal range for vitamin D levels?
The normal range of vitamin D is measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). It can be anywhere between 20-50ng/mL.
Q. Can too much vitamin D be harmful?
Yes, excess vitamin D in the blood (known as vitamin D toxicity) can be harmful. Signs of toxicity include nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, and weight loss. Excess vitamin D can also damage the kidneys. Too much vitamin D also raises the level of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia) which can cause confusion, disorientation, and problems with heart rhythm.
Q. Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency?
Some people who are at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency are breastfed infants because human milk is a poor source of vitamin D; older adults, because their skin does not make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight as efficiently as when they were young; and if you have hyperthyroidism, chronic kidney or liver disease.
Q. What foods are rich in vitamin D?
Some of the foods rich in vitamin D are orange juice, fortified breakfast cereals, milk, other dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese, and egg yolk.
Q. How to store Alpha D3 0.5mcg Capsule?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light. Keep them out of the reach and sight of children and pets.
