NatureWise Vitamina D3 5000 UI (125 mcg) con Aceite de Oliva Virgen Extra Orgánico - 360 Cápsulas Blandas

What is vitamin D3 and why is it important?

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that the body naturally produces when exposed to the sun. However, in Spain, especially during the winter months, sun exposure is limited, making supplementation a practical option to maintain adequate levels. NatureWise Vitamin D3 5000 IU offers a high dose in a convenient softgel, formulated with organic extra virgin olive oil to support its absorption.*

Health benefits of vitamin D3

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

• Normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus
• Maintenance of normal blood calcium levels
• Maintenance of normal bones
• Normal muscle function
• Normal immune system function

Additionally, vitamin D plays a role in the cell division process.* These benefits make vitamin D3 an essential nutrient for overall health.

How much vitamin D3 do you need? Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose varies depending on age, lifestyle, and sun exposure. This supplement provides 5000 IU (125 mcg) per softgel, a high dose suitable for adults with increased needs. It is recommended to take one capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose. As with any supplement, it is advisable to consult a doctor before starting, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

Differences between vitamin D2 and D3

There are two main forms of vitamin D: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D2 is obtained from plant sources, while D3 is the form produced by the human body and found in animal sources such as lanolin (present in sheep's wool). Vitamin D3 is considered more effective in raising and maintaining serum vitamin D levels. NatureWise uses natural vitamin D3, making it an optimal choice for supplementation.

What makes NatureWise vitamin D3 special?

This supplement stands out for several quality factors:

• Natural source: Vitamin D3 is obtained from natural sources and is gluten-free.
• Organic extra virgin olive oil: Formulated with cold-pressed olive oil, without hexane, which promotes the absorption of vitamin D3.*

Additionally, the 360-capsule package provides a year's supply, facilitating continuous supplementation.

Possible side effects and contraindications
