Key Benefits of Vitamin D3

If you're after a simple way to bolster your immune system and maintain strong bones, vitamin D3 is a great choice. Each softgel provides a potent 10,000 IU of cholecalciferol, the most bioavailable form, to help support immune function, bone health, joint comfort, and muscle function.*

• Immune Support – Vitamin D helps modulate the immune system, supporting your body's natural defence.*
• Bone Health – It promotes calcium absorption, which is essential for maintaining strong, healthy bones.*
• Joint Support – Adequate vitamin D levels contribute to joint comfort and mobility.*
• Muscle Function – Vitamin D plays a role in normal muscle contraction and strength.*
• Overall Wellbeing – It supports many cellular functions and helps maintain a healthy mood.*

Who May Benefit From Vitamin D3 Supplementation?

Many Australians may have insufficient vitamin D levels due to limited sun exposure, living in southern latitudes, using sunscreen, or having darker skin. Others at risk include older adults, individuals with digestive issues that affect absorption, and anyone following a vegan diet (note: this product is not vegan as D3 is from lanolin). Supplementing with 10,000 IU per day is typically suitable for adults with low levels or those seeking higher maintenance doses. However, it's always wise to check your vitamin D status with a blood test and consult a healthcare professional.

Understanding Vitamin D3 vs. D2

Vitamin D exists in two main forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D2 is derived from plant sources, while D3 is typically sourced from lanolin (sheep's wool) and is more effective at raising and maintaining blood levels of vitamin D. NOW Foods uses vitamin D3 for superior absorption and utilisation. Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, meaning it's best absorbed when taken with a meal containing fat. These soft-gels contain MCT oil, which aids absorption and provides a convenient, stable delivery system.

Why Take Vitamin D3?

Vitamin D, often called the "sunshine vitamin," plays a vital role in overall health. For many, getting enough from sunlight and food alone can be a challenge. That's where a high-quality supplement like NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 10,000 IU soft-gels comes in. Each softgel delivers a potent dose to help maintain strong bones, support immune function, and promote joint health.*

Safety and Side Effects

Vitamin D is generally safe at recommended doses. However, excessive intake (typically above 10,000 IU per day long-term) can lead to toxicity. Symptoms may include nausea, weakness, and kidney issues. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a healthcare professional. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications, consult your doctor before use. This product contains gelatine (from beef/pork). For a vegan alternative, look for vitamin D3 from lichen.
