Key Benefits of Vitamin D

• Bone Health: Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, helping to maintain strong bones and teeth.*
• Immune Function: Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, helping your body defend against seasonal challenges.*
• Muscle Function: Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function, supporting muscle strength and coordination.*

Understanding Vitamin D3 and D2

Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plant sources and D3 (cholecalciferol) typically from animal sources. Research suggests that D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. Sports Research uses vegan D3 from lichen, making it a superior choice for those following a plant-based lifestyle. The body recognises this form as the same vitamin D produced from sun exposure, ensuring optimal utilisation.*

Who Needs Vitamin D Supplementation?

Many people are at risk of vitamin D insufficiency. Those with limited sun exposure, darker skin tones, older adults, and individuals following a vegan diet may benefit from supplementation. This product is ideal for anyone seeking a high-quality, plant-based vitamin D3 to bridge the gap between sun exposure and dietary intake.

Recommended Dosage and How to Take

Each bottle contains 60 easy-to-swallow softgels with a suggested serving of one soft gel capsule daily. Take with a meal that contains fat for optimal absorption. This 5000 IU (125 mcg) dose is higher than the Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI), but many individuals require this level to achieve and maintain adequate vitamin D status. Consult your health care provider to determine the right dosage for your needs.

Safety and Side Effects

Vitamin D is generally safe when taken as directed. However, extremely high doses over prolonged periods can lead to toxicity. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications, consult your health care professional before uses. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
