Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 4000 IU (100 mcg) Vegetable Capsules is a premium formula delivering vitamin D in the form that is easiest to use by the body - D3. Supporting your wellbeing, the benefits of the "sunshine vitamin" are numerous and well documented, but particularly for immune health.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is required to promote calcium absorption, which helps to maintain healthy bones and teeth. Solgar's Vitamin D3 is one of the highest strength Vitamin Ds available. Vitamin D3 is the more potent form of Vitamin D compared to Vitamin D2. Obtained from the sunlight or vitamin D rich foods - over a billion people worldwide have very low levels of vitamin D. In addition to changing your diet and lifestyle, taking a vitamin D supplement is a good way to top up, especially in winter months.

- Normal function of the immune system

Solgar® Vegan Vitamin D3 is a body-ready, sustainably sourced and 100% plant-based addition to our range of vitamin D3 supplements. Governments around the world agree vitamin D is important for immune system function and bone health and recommend a daily intake of between 10 µg (400 IU) and 20 µg (800 IU) per day for adults, especially those with limited sun exposure or darker complexions. In addition, research estimates that less than 50 per cent of the global population has enough vitamin D, especially in winter.2 Until recently, most vegan- and vegetarian-friendly vitamin D supplements have been restricted to the less potent vitamin D2 form.3 But, lichen-based vitamin D is different. Lichens contain vegan-friendly vitamin D in the body-ready D3 or cholecalciferol form. Good news because vegans and vegetarians are particularly at risk of vitamin D deficiency as animal-based foods, that are naturally high in vitamin D, are not consumed.4 Taken once a day, Solgar Vegan D3 is ideal for those individuals following plant-based diets or seeking alternatives to animal-derived supplements. Vitamin D contributes to: • The maintenance of normal bones and teeth • Normal immune system function • Normal muscle function • The absorption of calcium and phosphorus and normal blood calcium levels
