This form of vitamin D metabolite has been used historically to increase calcium absorption, treat osteomalacia, and increase Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Its water solubility may also confer an advantage in patients who have difficulty absorbing fat soluble vitamins. Calcifediol is also more potent, about 3.5 times more potent in raising 25(OH)D levels than vitamin D. Compared to native vitamin D, calcifediol is more water soluble, has a shorter half-life and increases 25(OH)D levels more quickly. This approach also permits the physician to achieve desired serum levels in a matter of just a few days, rather than the several weeks required when using native vitamin D. One way to circumvent the variability of 25(OH)D response to vitamin D might be to use calcifediol supplementation and bypass the 25-hydroxylase enzyme entirely. Reaching consistent levels of 25(OH)D has been shown to be crucial in decreasing falls, fractures and increasing calcium absorption.
