What is Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is crucial for maintaining healthy muscles, bones, and teeth, as it aids the body in utilising calcium and phosphate. While our bodies typically produce vitamin D through sun exposure, factors such as winter weather, darker skin tones, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and vitamin D deficiencies can lead to inadequate levels.
Vitamin D exists in two forms: D3 and D2. D3, derived from animal sources, is found in foods like egg yolks and fish oil. The D3 in these capsules is sourced from lanolin, which comes from sheep’s wool. Research indicates that D3 is more effective than D2 at increasing blood levels of vitamin D and maintaining them over time.
How much Vitamin D3 should I take?
To maintain health, adults typically require a minimum of 600 International Units (IU) of vitamin D daily, with optimal amounts ranging from 800 to 1000 IU. Each capsule contains 1000 IU of Vitamin D3, ensuring sufficient intake. Your body naturally regulates the amount of vitamin D produced, so there’s little risk of over-supplementation.
How do I take Vitamin D3?
Take one capsule daily with water. These capsules are absorbed more effectively than tablets and are suitable for vegetarians. They are free from artificial flavours, gluten, preservatives, peanuts, soy, sugar, salt, and yeast.
