Douglas Laboratories Vitamin D (5,000 I.U.) | Vitamin D3 Food Supplement to Contribute to Normal Immune Function, Calcium Levels and Bones* | 100 Tablets

Key Benefits of Vitamin D Supplementation

Vitamin D is well-known for its role in maintaining health. Each tablet provides 5,000 IU of vitamin D3, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function, and normal cell division.* These benefits are supported by extensive nutritional science, making vitamin D a cornerstone of daily wellness.

Who May Benefit from Vitamin D Supplementation?

Certain groups are at higher risk for low vitamin D levels, including individuals with limited sun exposure, those living in northern latitudes like the UK, older adults, people with darker skin, and anyone following a vegan diet (whilst D3 from lanolin is not vegan). If you spend most of your time indoors or wear sunscreen regularly, a vitamin D supplement like this can help fill the gap.

Understanding Vitamin D3 and D2

Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plant sources and D3 (cholecalciferol) from animal sources like lanolin. Research suggests that D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. Douglas Laboratories use D3 for optimal bioavailability, ensuring your body gets the form it use most efficiently.

Why Choose Douglas Laboratories Vitamin D 5,000 IU?

Recommended Dosage of Vitamin D

One tablet daily provides 5,000 IU of vitamin D3. This strength is often used for maintaining healthy levels or correcting deficiency under professional guidance.
