Our Vitamin D Booster Shot contains the active component ergocalciferol which is a form of vitamin D. It belongs to a group of medicines called vitamin D and analogs. Ergocalciferol increases situations of calcium and phosphate in the blood by adding their absorption from the gut and reducing the quantum removed by the kidneys.
Ergocalciferol is used to treat:
• Low levels of phosphate in the blood

These diseases are due to poor absorption of vitamin D within the body generally caused by diseases of the gut, liver, or gall bladder.
