NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 5,000 IU – 120 Softgels

NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 provides a high-potency dose of vitamin D3, with 5,000 IU (125 mcg) per softgel.

Vitamin D is normally obtained through the diet or produced by the skin following exposure to sunlight. However, it is naturally present in only a limited number of foods, meaning supplementation may be useful for individuals with low vitamin D levels or limited sun exposure.

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, supports the absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. It contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, normal muscle function and the normal function of the immune system.

Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3

Vitamin D is available mainly in two forms:

• Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol): Generally obtained from plant or fungal sources.

• Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): The same form naturally produced by human skin following exposure to ultraviolet B radiation.

Both forms undergo conversion in the liver and kidneys before becoming biologically active. Vitamin D3 is commonly used in supplements because it is effective at maintaining the body’s vitamin D levels.

Recommended Use

Serving size: 1 softgel
Servings per container: 120

Take 1 softgel daily with a fat-containing meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Because this is a high-potency product, vitamin D levels should ideally be monitored through appropriate blood testing and professional guidance.
