Bioclinic Naturals - Vitamina D3 5000 IU, 180 Softgels

What is vitamin D and why is it important?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in the body. Known as the 'sunshine vitamin', it is produced in the skin after exposure to sunlight. However, during the winter months or in people with little sun exposure, supplementation may be necessary. This fat-soluble vitamin contributes to multiple bodily functions, from calcium absorption to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Health benefits of vitamin D

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin D contributes to:

• The normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• The maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.
• The maintenance of normal bones.
• Normal muscle function.
• The normal functioning of the immune system.

These benefits are backed by science and are part of the authorized health claims in the European Union.

How much vitamin D do you need? Recommended dosage

Each softgel capsule of Bioclinic Naturals Vitamin D3 provides 5000 IU (125 µg) of cholecalciferol. The recommended daily dose may vary according to individual needs. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage, especially if other supplements or medications are being taken. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose without medical supervision.

Differences between vitamin D2 and D3

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form produced by the human body after sun exposure and is also found in animal sources such as lanolin. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) comes from plant sources. Studies suggest that D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood vitamin D levels. This product uses D3, the most bioavailable form.

When choosing a vitamin D supplement, consider the form (D3 preferred), dosage, and product quality. Bioclinic Naturals offers a high potency of 5000 IU in an easy-to-take softgel capsule format. This product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.
