Vigantol Cholecalciferol oral solution

Vigantol is a long-established brand of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) used to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency. The brand has a heritage starting in Germany, where it was developed through a collaboration between Merck KGaA and IG Farben in the 1920s.

In recent years, the brand's ownership transitioned as part of a major corporate deal. In 2018, the American multinational Procter & Gamble (P&G) acquired the consumer health business of Merck KGaA, which included Vigantol. Today, the brand is managed under the P&G Health division. Manufacturing typically occurs in specialized pharmaceutical facilities in Europe, primarily in Germany, though distribution is global with regional subsidiaries handling local compliance and sales.
