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. 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. 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. 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). The in vivo synthesis of the major biologically active metabolites of vitamin D occurs in two steps. 95 mcg (3800 IU) Each capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, pharmaceutical glaze, croscarmellose sodium, calcium stearate, and silicon dioxide. 1,666 mcg DFE (1 mg) Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol).
