Pure Encapsulations Vitamin D3 125 mcg (5,000 IU) – 250 Capsules

Understanding Vitamin D3 and D2

Vitamin D exists in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plant sources and D3 (cholecalciferol) from animal sources. Evidence indicates that vitamin D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D compared to D2. Pure Encapsulations use vitamin D3 derived from lanolin, a natural source that closely resembles the form produced by your skin in response to sunlight.

Key Benefits of Vitamin D Supplementation*

• Bone Health: Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, helping to maintain normal bones.*
• Immune Function: It supports the normal function of the immune system by binding to receptors on immune cells.*
• Muscle Function: Vitamin D plays a role in normal muscle function, which is essential for an active lifestyle.*
• Cell Division: This vitamin has a role in the process of cell division, supporting overall cellular health.*
• Teeth: Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth.*

Who May Benefit from Vitamin D3?

Many individuals may benefit from vitamin D3 supplementation, particularly those with limited sun exposure, darker skin tones, older adults, or those following a vegan diet (whilst note that this D3 is from lanolin, not suitable for vegans). People living in northern latitudes or during winter months often have lower vitamin D levels. Additionally, those with certain digestive conditions may experience reduced absorption. It is advisable to consult a health care professional to determine if supplementation is right for you.

How to Take Pure Encapsulations Vitamin D3

As a dietary supplement, take one capsule daily with a meal to enhance absorption, as vitamin D is fat-soluble. Each capsule provides 5,000 IU (125 mcg) of vitamin D3. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by your health care provider.

Always adhere to the recommended dosage and consult a health care professional before taking high doses, especially if you have kidney issues or are taking medications that interact with vitamin D.
