What is vitamin A and D3 and why are they important?

Vitamin A and vitamin D3 are essential nutrients that play vital roles in the body. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, the normal functioning of the immune system, and skin health. For its part, vitamin D3 promotes the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, which helps maintain normal bones and teeth. This Bluebonnet Nutrition supplement combines 10,000 IU of vitamin A (from fish liver oil) and 400 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in a high-purity formula, obtained from deep-sea, cold-water fish oil, molecularly distilled to remove impurities.

How much vitamin A and D3 do you need? Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose for adults in the European Union is 800 µg of vitamin A (equivalent to 2,666 IU) and 5 µg of vitamin D (200 IU). However, needs may vary depending on age, lifestyle, and sun exposure. This supplement provides 10,000 IU of vitamin A and 400 IU of vitamin D3 per capsule, a dose higher than the recommended daily intake, suitable for people with increased needs or under professional supervision. It is recommended to take one capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by a specialist. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose without consulting a healthcare professional.

Differences between vitamin A and D3: forms and sources

The vitamin A in this product comes from fish liver oil, mainly in the form of retinyl palmitate, a preformed and easily usable form. There is also provitamin A (beta-carotene) of plant origin, but its conversion is less efficient. As for vitamin D, the D3 form (cholecalciferol) is the most bioavailable and the one the body produces naturally with sun exposure. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is of plant origin but less effective. Therefore, the combination of vitamin A and D3 of marine origin is an optimal option to ensure good absorption and effectiveness.
