SEDLAV Vitamin D3 Soft gel capsules, 125 mcg (5,000 IU), 400 Count

Why SEDLAV Vitamin D3 Soft gel capsules?

Many people in the UK don't get enough vitamin D from sunlight alone, especially during autumn and winter. SEDLAV Vitamin D3 Soft gel capsules provide 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of cholecalciferol per soft gel capsule – the same form synthesised by your skin – to help maintain healthy levels. Each bottle contains 400 soft gel capsules for a long-lasting supply.

Dosage: How Much Vitamin D3 Should You Take?

The UK government recommends that adults consider taking 10 mcg (400 IU) of vitamin D daily, especially from October to March. However, some individuals may require higher doses depending on their lifestyle and blood levels. Each SEDLAV soft gel capsule delivers 5,000 IU, which is above the general recommendation; it is intended for those who need additional support. Always consult a health care professional before taking more than 100 mcg (4,000 IU) per day from supplements.

Understanding Vitamin D3: What It Does

Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plants and D3 (cholecalciferol) from animal sources and sunlight. Vitamin D3 is the form most efficiently used by the body. Once ingested, it is converted into its active form, which helps regulate calcium and phosphorus absorption – minerals essential for strong bones and teeth. As a fat-soluble vitamin, it is best absorbed when taken with a meal containing dietary fat.

Key Benefits of Vitamin D3

• Bone health* – Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and to the maintenance of normal bones.
• Immune function* – It contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Muscle function* – It supports normal muscle function.
• Calcium absorption* – It aids in the maintenance of normal teeth and blood calcium levels.

* These are established health claims authorised by the European Commission.

Who Might Need Extra Vitamin D3?

People with limited sun exposure, such as those who work indoors, cover their skin, or live in northern regions, often have lower vitamin D levels. Older adults, individuals with darker skin tones, and those on restrictive diets may also benefit from supplementation. SEDLAV Vitamin D3 Soft gel capsules offer a convenient way to maintain adequate levels throughout the year.
