Sundance Vitamin D3 400 IU (10 mcg) - 60 Vegetarian Tablets

Vitamin D is often called the 'sunshine vitamin', and for good reason – your body makes it when your skin is exposed to sunlight. But with indoor lifestyles, long work hours, and the UK's often grey weather, getting enough can be a challenge. Sundance Vitamin D3 400 IU tablets offer a simple, vegetarian-friendly way to top up your levels.

Vitamin D3 vs D2: What's the Difference?

Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plants and D3 (cholecalciferol) from animal sources like lanolin. Research shows D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels. Each tablet delivers 400 IU (10 mcg) of cholecalciferol – the same form your body produces from sunlight. The tablets are vegetarian-friendly, using a plant-based binder, so they're suitable for those avoiding animal products.

Key Benefits of Vitamin D3

Vitamin D plays a vital role in many bodily functions. These benefits are supported by approved health claims:

• Supports normal bones – vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
• Supports normal immune function – it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Supports normal teeth – helps maintain healthy teeth.
• Supports normal muscle function – needed for normal muscle contraction and strength.
• Contributes to normal cell division – plays a role in cell growth and renewal.

Who May Benefit from a Vitamin D Supplement?

Low vitamin D is more common in people with limited sun exposure, those living in northern latitudes like the UK, individuals with darker skin (melanin reduces vitamin D production), older adults, and those on a strict vegetarian or vegan diet. A daily 400 IU supplement can help fill the gap, especially during autumn and winter. Always consult your GP or a health care professional before starting any supplement.

Why Choose Sundance Vitamin D3?

Sundance has been making quality supplements for three generations. These tablets are non-GMO, free from gluten, wheat, yeast, milk, lactose, soya, artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners, and preservatives.

Choosing the Right Dosage: 400 IU

The UK recommended daily intake for vitamin D is 400 IU (10 mcg) for the general population, with higher amounts advised for certain groups. This 400 IU tablet provides a solid foundation, especially when combined with sun exposure and dietary sources. It is an ideal starting dose for those new to supplementation. If you think you need a higher dose, speak to your health care provider.

Safety and Side Effects

Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so it can build up in the body. However, toxicity is rare and typically only occurs with extremely high doses (over 10,000 IU daily for long periods). At 400 IU, this supplement is well within safe limits. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult your health care professional before uses. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
