What is Vitamin D good for?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that supports a healthy immune response as well as bone, teeth, and muscle health. Vitamin D is available in two forms: Vitamin D2 (plant derived) and Vitamin D3 (animal derived). However, Vitamin D3 is the body’s preferred form because it has been shown to be more effective at raising Vitamin D levels in the body.†[4]

How does Vitamin D help the immune system?

Researchers have found a significant role for vitamin D in the immune system. Vitamin D helps regulate your body’s immune response and supports healthy immune cell function. It is important to consult with your healthcare professional about which vitamin D product is right for you.†

How much Vitamin D should I take per day?

The recommended daily intake of Vitamin D depends on many factors, such as age, skin color, and level of sun exposure. The Endocrine Society recommends dosages for adults ranging from 1500 to 2000 IUs per day to maintain Vitamin D levels, although dosages up to 10000 IUs may be needed to correct a Vitamin D deficiency. ‡†[5] This Vitamin D 5000 IU supplement provides 125 mcg (5000 IU) of Vitamin D3, which is ideal for adults who have been recommended a higher dosage supplement by their physician.

What are some food sources of Vitamin D?

Natural food sources of Vitamin D include fatty fish like tuna and trout, egg yolks, and mushrooms. Some foods are fortified with Vit D, such as orange juice, breakfast cereals, and dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and milk, as well as dairy-free milk. However, an estimated 95% of Americans don’t receive enough Vitamin D from their diet alone.[2]

Do you get enough Vitamin D from the sun?

Sunlight provides the main source of Vitamin D. However, many health experts recommend getting Vitamin D from food sources and supplements to avoid the damaging effects the sun’s rays can have on the skin.[4] Read more on our blogs about how much Vitamin D you really get from the sun, why so many people still aren’t getting enough of this critical nutrient, and how Vitamin D supplements may help.

Can I give this Vitamin D3 supplement to my child?

No, this Vit D3 supplement is designed for adults. Check out our Kids First® Gummies for some kid-friendly supplements.†

When does this product expire?
