Brief Summary
The investigators are intending to perform a clinical study in healthy subjects on the pharmacokinetics of different doses of Hy.D Calcifediol compared to vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in order to gain insight into the dose response relationship and to assess kinetic differences including the steady state. The metabolites 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)2D will be assessed throughout the study to assess the metabolism of vitamin D vs. 25(OH)D. Vitamin D3 will be measured throughout the study to assess compliance with the restriction of exogenous vitamin D supplementation.
