Those who may benefit from supplementation include people with limited sun exposure, darker skin tones, older adults, and individuals following a vegan diet (note: this D3 is from lanolin, not vegan). If you are unsure about your levels, a blood test can help determine if supplementation is right for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Take This Vitamin D3 Supplement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal that contains fat, as vitamin D is fat-soluble. The organic flaxseed oil base in Natural Factors Vitamin D3 softgels aids in absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuality and Purity: Third-Party Tested\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Factors ensures each batch is third-party tested for over 800 contaminants, including heavy metals and pesticides, using advanced mass spectrometry. The product is also verified non-GM. The softgels are easy to swallow and made with high-quality ingredients for maximum potency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVitamin D3 vs D2: What's the Difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D comes in two main forms: ergocalciferol (D2) from plants and cholecalciferol (D3) from animal sources. Research indicates that D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. Natural Factors uses vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) derived from lanolin, the most natural and bioactive form. This ensures your body can readily utilise the vitamin for optimal health benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety Considerations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 is safe when taken as directed. However, extremely high doses over long periods can lead to toxicity. If you are taking other medications or have a medical condition, consult your health care provider before starting supplementation. Keep out of reach of children. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natural Factors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46719004246177,"sku":null,"price":26.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0043\/3313\/files\/71yajeTnGBL._AC_SL1500_c31df7e9-7406-4673-82d8-4cf27f1d6ac1.jpg?v=1784473976","url":"https:\/\/ukvitalityvitamins.co.uk\/products\/natural-factors-vitamin-d3-5000-iu-240-softgels-b00b4iirn4","provider":"UkVitalityVitamins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
