Product Description
Vegan Vitamin D3
125 mcg (5000 IU), 60 vegan capsules
Potent bone & immune health supplement for plant-based diets
Many sources of supplemental vitamin D3 come from animals. Our formula delivers 125 mcg (5000 IU) of vitamin D3, with absolutely no animal byproducts.
Gluten free Non-GMO
Overview
Your skin makes vitamin D3 via exposure to direct sunlight. Plants get their nourishment from the sun as well, which inspired us to create a vitamin D3 supplement that is completely free of animal sources or byproducts: not in the 100% vegan capsule, nor in the nutrient inside.
For vegans and vegetarians, getting the right nutrition can pose unique challenges. So we created a vegan-friendly 125 mcg Vitamin D3 formula.
Vegan Vitamin D3 Benefits
- Promotes cognitive health & healthy bone density
- Helps maintain a healthy immune response
- Contains absolutely no animal by-products
Product Details
Your skin produces vitamin D when in direct sunlight, but you should not get your vitamin D from unprotected sun exposure or indoor tanning devices. Supplementing with vitamin D goes a long way towards inhibiting deficiency: we recommend about 125 mcg-200 mcg of vitamin D3 a day. If your multivitamin already delivers 25 mcg-75 mcg of vitamin D, Vitamin D3 125 mcg (5000 IU) is perfect for achieving optimal vitamin D levels.
Cognitive health
Vitamin D is important for maintaining cognitive health and function as you age. Healthy serum vitamin D levels have been shown to correspond with better scores on cognitive health tests and better maintenance of cognitive ability in aging individuals.
Bone and immune health
Vitamin D (along with vitamin K and essential minerals) is essential for facilitating the transport of calcium into the bone matrix. This is an important step in maintaining strong, healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a critical role in healthy immune function.
Heart health & already-healthy blood pressure support
Vitamin D helps to regulate the body's calcium balance while facilitating calcium absorption into the bloodstream, promotes a healthy inflammatory response, and encourages healthy endothelial function. Vitamin D also helps inhibit excess renin levels. Healthy renin levels help maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.
Getting enough vitamin D
This vitamin D3 supplement delivers 125 mcg of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per capsule. We suggest that you take a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test after 3 months to assess and adjust your dosage. Your optimal blood levels should be 50-80 ng/ml year-round.
