GeriCare Vitamin D-3 25 mcg (1,000 IU) – Supports Normal Bones, Immune System & Muscle Function – 200 Tablets

Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining good health, yet many people fail to get enough from sunlight or diet alone. GeriCare Vitamin D-3 offers 25 mcg (1,000 IU) of cholecalciferol per tablet, the form most effectively used by the body to support calcium absorption, bone strength, immune function, and overall wellbeing. Whether you are office-bound or simply want to ensure adequate intake, this supplement provides a convenient daily option.

Understanding Vitamin D3 and D2

Vitamin D exists in two primary forms: ergocalciferol (D2) from plants and cholecalciferol (D3) from animal sources. Studies indicate that D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. GeriCare uses vitamin D3, identical to the form produced by skin upon sun exposure. Each tablet supplies 1,000 IU, a common maintenance dose for general wellness.

Key Benefits of GeriCare Vitamin D-3

Vitamin D contributes to several aspects of health. GeriCare Vitamin D-3 can help you maintain:

• Normal Bones: Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones throughout life by aiding calcium absorption.
• Immune Function: Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Normal Muscle Function: Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function, which is important for physical mobility.
• Normal Cell Division and Teeth: Vitamin D contributes to normal cell division and the maintenance of normal teeth.

Who May Benefit from Vitamin D Supplementation?

Many individuals can benefit from supplementary vitamin D, particularly those with limited sun exposure, people with darker skin, older adults, and those following a vegan or restricted diet. If you live in a northern latitude or spend most of your time indoors, your body may not produce enough vitamin D year-round. GeriCare Vitamin D-3 provides a convenient way to support healthy levels. Always consult a health care professional before starting supplementation.

Recommended Dosage of Vitamin D

The recommended daily intake varies by age and health. For many adults, 1,000 IU per day is a common maintenance dose. This product provides 1,000 IU per tablet, making it easy to take one daily. The UK government recommends 10 mcg (400 IU) per day for the general population, but higher doses may be appropriate depending on individual needs. It is best to have your vitamin D levels tested and follow your health care provider's advice.

Choosing a Quality Vitamin D Supplement
