Ortho Molecular Vitamin D3 5000 IU - 120 Capsules

What Is Vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble nutrient that the body produces when the skin is exposed to sunlight. It can also be found in foods like oily fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy products, as well as in dietary supplements. Compared to vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), the D3 form is utilised more effectively by the body, which is why it is commonly used in supplement formulations.

Why Consider Vitamin D3 Supplementation?

Many individuals may have suboptimal vitamin D levels due to limited sun exposure—whether from an indoor lifestyle, living at higher latitudes, or spending little time outdoors. Ageing can also reduce the skin's ability to synthesise vitamin D, and those with darker skin tones produce less from sunlight. Certain digestive conditions can impair absorption. In such cases, supplementing with vitamin D3 may help maintain adequate levels. Always consult a health care professional to determine if supplementation is appropriate for you.

How to Uses This Supplement
