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, D3 is the body’s preferred form because it has been shown to be more effective at raising Vitamin D levels in the body [3]. To learn more about our best vitamins for immune system support, check out our blogs on Vitamin D.†

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. This Vitamin D supplement provides 10,000 IU (250 mcg) of Vitamin D3, which is ideal for adults who have been identified as Vitamin D deficient and have been recommended a higher dosage supplement by their physician.◆

Can you take too much Vitamin D?

Although unlikely, it is possible to consume too much Vitamin D, which may cause side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, confusion, pain, loss of appetite, and dehydration [2]. It is important that you consult with a healthcare professional before adding a Vitamin D supplement to your diet.

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 Vitamin D, such as orange juice, breakfast cereals, and dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and milk as well as dairy-free milks [2]. However, an estimated 95% of Americans don’t receive enough Vitamin D from their diet alone [1].

Do you get enough Vitamin D from the sun?

Sunlight provides the main source of Vitamin D, yet 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 [2]. 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 can help.

Can I take these Vitamin D softgels with other Vitamin D supplements?

Taking a Vitamin D3 supplement is suggested for adults with higher Vitamin D needs and/or deficiency, as determined by a healthcare professional. As such, we do not recommend taking this Vitamin D3 10,000 with other supplements containing Vitamin D, including multivitamins.♦
