NOW Vitamina D-3 400 UI, 180 Cápsulas Blandas (Pack de 3)

What is vitamin D and why is it important?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that the body needs to function properly. Often called the "sunshine vitamin," it is produced in the skin after exposure to sunlight. However, in Spain, during the autumn and winter months, solar radiation is not sufficient to synthesize the necessary amount. Therefore, vitamin D supplements become a valuable tool to maintain adequate levels.

NOW Vitamin D-3 400 IU provides cholecalciferol, the form identical to that produced by the body. Each softgel contains 400 IU (10 µg), an appropriate dose for adults who wish to supplement their daily intake. This pack of 3 containers offers 180 capsules each, enough for several months of continuous use.

Main product features

NOW Vitamin D-3 400 IU is formulated to help maintain strong bones. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, key elements for bone health. In addition, this supplement supports dental health, as calcium is essential for maintaining normal teeth.

Each softgel facilitates absorption, as vitamin D is fat-soluble and is better absorbed with fats. It is recommended to take the capsule with a meal containing some fat to optimize its utilization. The product is gluten-free, GMO-free, and contains no artificial ingredients, making it a reliable option for most diets.

Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose of vitamin D for adults in the European Union is 200 IU (5 µg). With one 400 IU capsule daily, double the recommended daily amount is covered, helping to reach the levels the body needs. It is important to remember that needs may vary depending on age, lifestyle, and health conditions. Therefore, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Differences between vitamin D2 and D3

There are two main forms of vitamin D in supplements: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is the same as that produced by the skin when exposed to the sun, so the body uses it more efficiently. NOW Vitamin D-3 uses cholecalciferol, the preferred form for most people. It is obtained from lanolin, a natural substance present in sheep's wool.
