Vitamin D: Vitamin D and metabolites are mainly excreted in the bile and faeces. Excess absorbed calcium excreted via urine. Most people should be able to get enough calcium through healthy eating. Metabolism: Vitamin D3: Hydroxylated in liver to form 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, then hydroxylated in kidney to form active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.Įxcretion: Calcium salt: Unabsorbed calcium mainly excreted via faeces. Calcium is also vital for strong teeth and bones. May be stored in adipose and muscle tissue for prolonged periods. Vitamin D: Vitamin D and metabolites binds to vitamin D -binding protein and are circulated in the blood. Vitamin D3: Well-absorbed from GI tract in the presence of bile.ĭistribution: Calcium: Skeletal tissue, breast milk. It is necessary for the regulation and regulation of calcium and phosphate homoeostasis and bone mineralisation.Ībsorption: Calcium: Approx 33% of oral calcium absorbed via active transport and passive diffusive in small intestine. It is also used as an adjunct in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Description: Calcium salt can be used in the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency states.
