Is calcifediol better than cholecalciferol for vitamin D supplementation?
Quesada-Gomez JM, Bouillon R. Quesada-Gomez JM, et al. Osteoporos Int. 2018 Aug;29(8):1697-1711. doi: 10.1007/s00198-018-4520-y. Epub 2018 Apr 30. Osteoporos Int. 2018. PMID: 29713796 Review.
Second, oral calcifediol is more potent than cholecalciferol, so that lower dosages are needed. Based on the results of nine RCTs comparing physiologic doses of oral cholecalciferol with oral calcifediol, calcifediol was 3.2-fold more potent than oral choleca …

Calcifediol (25OH Vitamin D(3)) Deficiency: A Risk Factor from Early to Old Age.
Bouillon R, Antonio L, Olarte OR. Bouillon R, et al. Nutrients. 2022 Mar 10;14(6):1168. doi: 10.3390/nu14061168. Nutrients. 2022. PMID: 35334824 Free PMC article. Review.
There is consensus that nutritional access to vitamin D can be estimated by measuring serum concentrations of 25OHD and vitamin D deficiency can thus be considered as calcifediol deficiency. However, the threshold for vitamin D/calcifediol sufficiency remains a matt …

Cholecalciferol or Calcifediol in the Management of Vitamin D Deficiency.
Sosa Henríquez M, Gómez de Tejada Romero MJ. Sosa Henríquez M, et al. Nutrients. 2020 May 31;12(6):1617. doi: 10.3390/nu12061617. Nutrients. 2020. PMID: 32486496 Free PMC article. Review.
Cholecalciferol, unlike calcifediol, guarantees an exact dosage in IU (International Units) of vitamin D and has pharmacokinetic properties that allow either daily or even weekly, fortnightly, or monthly administration in its equivalent doses, which can facilitate adherenc …
