Absorption and Conversion: After you take Q Dcal 60000 IU Tablet 4, your body absorbs vitamin D3 in the small intestine. The liver then converts it into 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], which is the main circulating form of vitamin D.
Activation: Your kidneys convert 25(OH)D into the active hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]. This hormone binds to vitamin D receptors (VDRs) throughout your body.
Regulation: The complex formed by 1,25(OH)2D and VDRs regulates genes involved in various bodily functions, such as calcium absorption, bone mineralisation, immune function, cell growth, and neuromuscular function.
