With the UK's limited sunshine, many of us find it challenging to maintain optimal vitamin D levels throughout the year. ANDREW LESSMAN Vitamin D3 offers a practicable solution: each easy-to-swallow capsule provides 5,000 IU of cholecalciferol, the most bio-available form of vitamin D. With 360 capsules per bottle, this single purchase supplies a full year's worth of daily supplementation to support your wellbeing.*
Key Benefits of Vitamin D3
Vitamin D contributes to a range of normal bodily functions. Scientific evidence supports its role in:
-
Normal immune function: Vitamin D helps the immune system respond appropriately to challenges.
-
Normal calcium absorption and utilisation: It aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone health.
-
Maintenance of normal bones and teeth: Adequate vitamin D levels are necessary for bone density and strength.
-
Normal muscle function: Vitamin D contributes to proper muscle contraction and function.
-
Normal blood calcium levels: It helps regulate calcium in the blood.
-
Normal cell division and cell specialisation: Vitamin D plays a role in cellular processes.
These benefits are recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Understanding the Dosage: Why 5,000 IU?
The European RDA for vitamin D is 5 µg (200 IU) for adults, but many experts recommend higher intakes to achieve optimal blood levels, especially for those with limited sun exposure. A daily dose of 5,000 IU (125 µg) is a common supplementary amount used to correct deficiency or maintain robust levels. It falls within the safe upper intake level established by the European Commission, which is 100 µg (4,000 IU) per day from supplements. However, higher intakes may be appropriate under medical supervision.
Who May Benefit from Supplementation?
Anyone with limited sun exposure, such as those living in northern climates like the UK, may benefit. Individuals with darker skin tones, older adults, and those following a vegan diet are at increased risk of deficiency. People with conditions affecting fat absorption (e.g., Crohn's disease, coeliac disease) may also require supplementation. Always consult your health care professional before starting a new supplement.
