STATEMENT OF IDENTITY
CHOLECAL DF Capsules is an orally administered prescription folate product for the dietary management of patients with unique nutritional needs requiring increased folate levels and Vitamin D supplementation due to Vitamin D deficiency and other nutritional supplementation. CHOLECAL DF should be administered under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.

CHOLECAL DF capsules are supplied as a light yellow tablet with A1 imprinted on one side.

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

Each capsule contains:
Folic Acid............................................... 1,666 mcg DFE (1 mg)
Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol).......................... 95 mcg (3800 IU)
Each capsule contains the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, pharmaceutical glaze, croscarmellose sodium, calcium stearate, and silicon 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.

HEALTH CLAIM:

CHOLECAL DF is used for dietary management of patients with unique nutritional needs requiring increased folate levels, Vitamin D deficiency or are in need of Vitamin D supplementation and other nutritional supplementation.

CHOLECAL DF can be taken by women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and lactating and nonlactating mothers.
