ANDREW LESSMAN Vitamin D3 1000 IU – 60 Capsules

Understanding Vitamin D3 and D2

Vitamin D comes in two forms: ergocalciferol (D2) from plants and cholecalciferol (D3) from animal sources. Research indicates D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. ANDREW LESSMAN uses only D3 sourced from lanolin, which mimics the vitamin D your body produces from sunlight. This form is well-absorbed and utilised, making it a superior choice for supplementation.

Key Benefits of Vitamin D3

• Supports Calcium Absorption: Vitamin D3 helps your body absorb calcium, a critical mineral for strong bones and teeth. Without enough vitamin D, calcium cannot be used effectively.
• Promotes Bone Health: By aiding calcium absorption, vitamin D3 contributes to normal bone density and may help reduce the risk of fractures later in life.
• Immune System Support: Vitamin D3 modulates immune responses, helping your body defend against seasonal challenges and maintain overall immune health.
• Brain and Mood: Adequate vitamin D levels are linked to cognitive function and mood regulation. Supplementing may support mental clarity and emotional wellbeing.
• Muscle Function: Vitamin D3 supports normal muscle contraction and strength, important for mobility and fall prevention, especially in older adults.

Who Needs Vitamin D Supplementation?

Many people can benefit from a vitamin D3 supplement, including those with limited sun exposure (e.g., living in southern Australia or working indoors), people with darker skin (which produces less vitamin D from sunlight), older adults (whose skin synthesises vitamin D less efficiently), and those following a vegan diet (though note this D3 is from lanolin, not lichen). If you have a known deficiency or low bone density, vitamin D3 can be a valuable addition to your routine.

Recommended Dosage of Vitamin D3

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin D varies by age and life stage, typically from 600 to 800 IU per day for most adults. ANDREW LESSMAN's 1,000 IU capsule provides a moderate daily dose that aligns with common maintenance recommendations. For diagnosed deficiency, higher doses may be advised by a healthcare professional. Always follow the serving size on the label and consider testing your vitamin D levels to determine your individual needs.
