How much vitamin D should I take a day?

NHS guidance recommends 10 micrograms of vitamin D a day for most adults, and advises not to take more than 100 micrograms (4000 IU) a day from all sources, as this could be harmful. This product provides 55 micrograms per capsule, which is within the safe upper limit at the recommended dose of 1 capsule a day.

What does vitamin D3 do?

Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, normal blood calcium levels, and the maintenance of normal muscle function.

Is this product suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. The capsule shell is a vegetable capsule (hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose) rather than gelatin, so this product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
