Up to 75 percent of the population in Germany suffer from a vitamin D deficiency, which often remains undetected for a long time. Ongoing undersupply can lead to serious complications. Especially in the low-light winter months, there is a risk of an undersupply of vitamin D in our latitudes. But even if the sun shines sufficiently in the warmer season, high UV protection in sun or face creams often prevents the formation of the vitamin. In addition, various diseases, taking certain medications, darker skin type, increasing age and low sun exposure increase the risk of a vitamin D deficiency. Due to the non-specific symptoms such as exhaustion, susceptibility to infection, decreased concentration or slight muscle weakness, an undersupply is often not recognized. Even complaints such as mood swings, sleep disorders or nervousness cannot be clearly assigned at first glance. If the deficiency manifests itself, osteoporosis, myopathy, osteomalacia, depression or cardiac arrhythmias can occur. The only way to clarify the existence of an undersupply or a deficiency is to determine the concentration of the 25 (OH) D serum value.
Vitamin D substitution: that’s what matters
When choosing a suitable vitamin D preparation, the doctor should take individual patient needs into account. Allergy sufferers in particular have to pay close attention to the composition of a drug. In addition, economic factors such as price, reimbursement and discount contracts play an important role. Unlike other vitamin D products, colecalciferol contains Aristo® 20,000 IU exclusively beef gelatin and is therefore also suitable for Muslims, for example. The recipe is free of peanut and soy components, so that it can be used safely if disposition is appropriate. The reduced frequency of use also ensures good compliance. In contrast to low-dose nutritional supplements, some of which have to be taken daily, with Colecalciferol is Aristo® 20,000 IU thanks to the high active ingredient content of 20,000 IU (corresponds to 500 µg colecalciferol) a single weekly intake is sufficient. The prescription drug is indicated for the initial treatment of a symptomatic vitamin D deficiency in adults and is reimbursable for a confirmed vitamin D3 deficiency. Aristo Pharma’s generic therapy option is also a cost-effective alternative to the competition. There are discount contracts with various large health insurance companies such as Barmer GEK, Techniker Krankenkasse, DAK and some AOK. Colecalciferol is also Aristo® 20,000 IU aut-idem capable.
