A source of health since 1994, The Lescuyer laboratory creates various natural, unique and innovative solutions that combine naturalness, the high quality of their active ingredients and science. Formulated with active ingredients such as vitamin D / calcitriol, find the food supplements that strengthen you every day.
The characteristics of calcitriol
Calcitriol is a metabolite of vitamin D3, and is an essential element for the proper functioning of the body and for better immune defenses. It is therefore a form of vitamin D active in the body, which maintains the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, and contributes to bone mineralization.
Calcitriol therefore plays several roles. First, this substance increases calcium and phosphorus in the intestine. Then, it increases osteoclastic resorption, thus releasing calcium from the deep bone. This action acts simultaneously with parathyroid hormone, which also allows the mineralization of the osteoid tissue. Finally, calcitriol, in physiological doses, allows a renal tubular reabsorption of phosphorus and calcium. Apart from that, calcitriol inhibits the proliferation of T cells that fight viruses, bacteria and fungi, and stimulates the differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes.
Orally, calcitriol is used to treat hypoparathyroidism, renal osteodystrophies, vitamino-resistant osteomalacies, pseudohypoparathyroidism and vitamin-resistant rickets. Locally, calcitriol helps manage psoriasis, which is a disorder of the immune system.
The characteristics of vitamin D
Offering 100% plant-based pill dispensers, the LESCUYER Laboratory develops food supplements containing vitamin D, a substance of natural origin and entirely vegetable. You bet? Vitamin D, especially vitamin D3, is synthesized by the skin under the influence of ultraviolet rays projected by the sun. It is also present in certain foods such as fish, dairy products such as cheese, milk, butter or yogurt, eggs, cod liver oil, halibut oil, meats, avocado and mushrooms.
So choose this food to be able to benefit from the different benefits of vitamin D, which are:
- prevention of osteoporosis: which is due to age, lack of exercise, calcium and vitamin D deficiency;
- improved cognitive function;
- stimulation of the immune system especially in winter;
- prevention of cardiovascular risk;
- maximum mineralization of tissues, particularly bone, cartilage and teeth;
- maintenance of bone capital and regulation of blood pressure
In short, vitamin D/calcitriol plays a very important role for our body and helps us prevent several diseases. The reference dosage is 600 IU per day for adults, except for the elderly who are consistently 800 to 1000 IU per day, children from 0 to 18 years of age from 400 to 800 IU per day, and 400 IU per day for children without a risk factor for deficiency. For those with increased vitamin D requirements such as pregnant or lactating women, 50 years and older or overweight, the prescribed doses are 2000 IU. The daily dose of 1000 IU is suitable for adults and children wishing to maintain their bone capital and immune system.
