ZYMAD 10,000 IU/ml is a vitamin D-based medicine, indicated for the treatment and/or prevention of vitamin D deficiency. It comes in a dropper bottle and can be taken in a teaspoon or mixed with a liquid or semi-liquid food.
For warnings, precautions for use and contraindications, please refer to the package leaflet.
This medicine contains vitamin D, which enables calcium to be bound to the bones, and whose deficiency causes rickets. It is used to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D plays a major role in bone growth and mineralization. While the main source of vitamin D remains exposure to light (the body synthesizes it from a cholesterol derivative under the action of light), we must not neglect our diet, even if few foods are good sources of vitamin D.
Food is no longer sufficient to compensate for the lack of vitamin D synthesis due to insufficient sunlight. In fact, the usual diet of people living in France provides lower quantities of vitamin D than are required. Indeed, in France, the SUVIMAX study (2003) demonstrated that over 70% of adults (men and women) have an inadequate intake of vitamin D.
The main populations are post-menopausal women, the elderly, dark-skinned or black people, nursing mothers, people with little exposure to the sun...
There are symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. These include fatigue, muscle weakness, sometimes dry skin and cramps. All these symptoms reflect the action of vitamin D, and in such cases, the question arises as to whether there is a vitamin D deficiency.
Excipients: Olive oil, Sweet orange oil, Tocopherol
Solution drops can be taken undiluted or diluted in bottle milk or fruit juice. Do not heat or add to hot liquids.
