What is vitamin D and why is it important?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that the body needs to absorb calcium and maintain healthy bones and teeth. It is primarily obtained through sun exposure, but can also be ingested through food or supplements. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the most bioavailable form, identical to that generated by the skin. Its role is key in multiple bodily functions, from bone health to the immune system.

Health benefits of vitamin D

• Contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus*, essential for bone mineralization.
• Helps maintain bones in normal conditions*, preventing bone density loss.
• Contributes to the maintenance of teeth*.
• Supports the normal functioning of the immune system*, aiding natural defenses.
• Contributes to normal muscle function*, reducing the risk of falls in older people.

*These benefits are recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

How much vitamin D do you need? Recommended dosage

The recommended daily amount can vary depending on age, sun exposure, and health status. Solgar Vitamin D3 10,000 IU provides a high dose, suitable for people with increased needs or reduced absorption, such as those over 50 years old. It is recommended to take one softgel daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to improve absorption. If you have questions about the appropriate dose, consult a healthcare professional.

Differences between vitamin D2 and D3

Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is obtained from plant sources, while D3 (cholecalciferol) is of animal origin (lanolin from sheep's wool) and is the form the body produces naturally. Studies suggest that vitamin D3 is more effective in raising and maintaining blood vitamin D levels. That's why Solgar uses D3 in its supplements.
