Key Benefits of CALHEX-60K
CALHEX-60K provides Cholecalciferol 60,000 IU in a softgel capsule.
The formulation may help:
- Support Vitamin D supplementation

How CALHEX-60K Works
Cholecalciferol, also known as Vitamin D3, helps the body absorb calcium from the intestine.
As a result, adequate Vitamin D supports the normal use of calcium and phosphorus in the body. These nutrients play an important role in maintaining bones and teeth.
In addition, Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function and supports normal immune system function.
Therefore, maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels can support several important body functions.
Common Side Effects
Most people tolerate Vitamin D supplements when they take them at the recommended dose.
However, excessive Vitamin D intake can increase calcium levels in the blood. This may cause symptoms such as:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Stomach discomfort
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Weakness
Therefore, do not take more than the recommended dose unless your healthcare professional advises you to do so.
CALHEX-60K Safety Information
Use CALHEX-60K according to the advice of a healthcare professional.
Before starting supplementation, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, high calcium levels, kidney stones, or other conditions that may affect calcium or Vitamin D levels.
Also, tell your healthcare professional about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements you currently take.
In addition, avoid taking multiple high-dose Vitamin D products at the same time unless your healthcare professional recommends them.
Because CALHEX-60K contains a high-strength dose of Vitamin D3, follow the prescribed dose and schedule carefully.
Furthermore, do not take additional calcium or Vitamin D supplements without discussing them with your healthcare professional.
Dosage and Administration
The appropriate dose and frequency depend on the individual’s Vitamin D status and medical needs.
Generally, take CALHEX-60K exactly as directed by your healthcare professional.
Swallow the softgel capsule whole with water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule unless your healthcare professional advises you to do so.
If you miss a dose, take it when you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take an extra dose to make up for the missed one.
