Global Cholecalciferol Drops Market: Introduction
- Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is used as a dietary supplement when the amount of vitamin D in the diet is insufficient. People most at risk of vitamin D deficiency are older adults; breastfed infants; and people with dark skin, obesity, and having limited sun exposure. People with gastrointestinal, Crohn's, or celiac diseases are also at risk of vitamin D deficiency. Cholecalciferol is also used along with calcium to prevent and treat bone diseases such as rickets (softening and weakening of bones in children caused by lack of vitamin D), osteomalacia (softening and weakening of bones in adults caused by lack of vitamin D), and osteoporosis (a condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily).
- Cholecalciferol belongs to a class of medications called vitamin D analogs. It is needed by the body for healthy bones, muscles, nerves, and to support the immune system. It helps the body in utilizing more of the calcium found in foods or supplements.
- The global cholecalciferol drops market is projected to register a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period (2020-2025)
