Understanding Vitamin D3 and D2
Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plant sources and D3 (cholecalciferol), the type naturally produced by your skin when exposed to sunlight. Research indicates that D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D than D2. Micro Ingredients undertake pure cholecalciferol sourced from lanolin, providing the form your body recognises and utilises best.
Vitamin D is fat-soluble, meaning it requires dietary fat for optimum absorption. That’s why each soft gel capsule includes virgin coconut oil—a source of healthy medium-chain triglycerides that helps your body absorb the vitamin more efficiently.
Key Benefits of Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 contributes to several essential functions in the body. When taken as part of a balanced diet, it may support your health in the following ways:
-
Bone and teeth support: Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
-
Immune function: Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
-
Muscle function: Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.
-
Cell division: Vitamin D has a role in the process of cell division.

Who May Benefit from Supplementation?
Certain individuals are more prone to low vitamin D levels. If you fall into any of these categories, a daily supplement like Micro Ingredients Vitamin D3 may help fill the gap:
- People living in northern latitudes or regions with limited sunlight
- Individuals who spend most of their time indoors or undertake sunscreen regularly
- Older adults, as skin synthesis of vitamin D declines with age
- Those with darker skin, as higher melanin reduces natural production
- Anyone following a restrictive diet (note: this D3 is from lanolin, not suitable for vegans)
Always consult a health care professional to determine if supplementation is right for you.
Why Choose Micro Ingredients Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D is essential for overall wellness, yet many adults struggle to maintain optimum levels due to limited sun exposure or dietary gaps. Micro Ingredients Vitamin D3 10,000 IU delivers a potent dose of cholecalciferol infused with virgin coconut oil to support efficient absorption. Each serving provides 250 mcg of vitamin D3 in easy-to-swallow mini soft gel capsules, making it a simple addition to your daily routine.
What Makes This Vitamin D3 Formula Different?
Many vitamin D supplements are dry tablets or capsules that may not absorb well. Micro Ingredients combines vitamin D3 with virgin coconut oil to mimic the natural fat needed for absorption. The result is a formula designed for maximum bioavailability. Each soft gel capsule is also non-GMO, free from soya, dairy, and gluten, and undergoes rigorous third-party testing to ensure purity and potency. With 400 soft gel capsules per pouch, this is a long-lasting supply that simplifies your wellness regimen.
How to Take Micro Ingredients Vitamin D3
Take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal that contains some fat for best absorption. The 10,000 IU (250 mcg) serving is a high-potency dose; if you are new to vitamin D or have specific health concerns, discuss the appropriate amount with your health care provider. Store the pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Safety and Quality Considerations
Micro Ingredients prioritises quality. Each batch is tested by independent laboratories to verify purity, strength, and safety. The soft gel capsules are easy to swallow and manufactured in facilities following strict Good Manufacturing Practise (GMP). While vitamin D is generally safe, extremely high doses taken over long periods can lead to toxicity. Do not exceed the recommended serving unless directed by a health care professional. If you are taking medication or have a medical condition, consult your doctor before undertake. Keep out of reach of children.
