NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 1000 IU - 360 Softgels

Vitamin D3 vs D2: What’s the Difference?

Vitamin D is available in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plant sources and D3 (cholecalciferol) from animal sources. D3 is the form most efficiently utilised by the body, making it a preferred choice for supplementation. NOW Foods uses lanolin-derived D3, ensuring high bioavailability. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it is best absorbed when taken with a meal containing dietary fat.

Key Benefits of Vitamin D

• Bone Health: Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, helping to maintain strong bones and teeth.
• Immune Function: It supports the normal function of the immune system, helping your body defend against seasonal challenges.
• Muscle Function: Adequate vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function, supporting mobility and balance.
• Calcium Regulation: Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood, critical for bone mineralisation.

Who Might Benefit from Vitamin D Supplementation?

Individuals with limited sun exposure, such as those living in northern latitudes or spending most of their time indoors, may have lower vitamin D levels. This includes older adults, people with darker skin, and those following a vegan diet. The convenient soft gel capsule form makes daily intake simple.
