| Main Objective: To evaluate the pharmacokinetic of 25(OH)D3 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis treated for 6 months with two different dosages of calcifediol. To evaluate the efficacy of two different dosages of calcifediol in the achievement of serum levels of 25(OH)D3 higher than 30 ng/ml in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the serum levels of 1-25(OH)2D3 and of PTH in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis treated for 6 months with two different dosages of calcifediol. To evaluate the effects of two different dosages of calcifediol on muscular performances. To evaluate the effects of two different dosages of calcifediol on serum levels of myostatin.;Primary end point(s): a) to evaluate the pharmacokinetic of 25(OH)D3 in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis treated for 6 months with two different dosages of calcifediol. b) to evaluate the efficacy of two different dosages of calcifediol in the achievement of serum levels of 25(OH)D3 higher than 30 ng/ml in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: a) 0, 15 g.g, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months. b) 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months. | — |
