Nature's Way Vitamin D-3 2,000 IU - 240 Softgels

Getting enough vitamin D is a common concern for many Australians. Factors such as indoor lifestyles and sun protection habits can affect the body's natural production of vitamin D. A dietary supplement like Nature's Way Vitamin D-3 2000 IU offers a convenient way to support your daily nutrient intake. Each softgel provides 50 mcg (2000 IU) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in an easy to swallow form.

What is Vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is one of the two main forms of vitamin D. It is naturally produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. The other form, vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), is obtained from plant sources. Vitamin D3 is commonly used in supplements due to its availability in the body. The form in this product is the same as the one your body makes.
