Solgar Vitamina D3 (Colecalciferol) 125 mcg (5000 UI), 240 Cápsulas Vegetales - Paquete de 2

What is vitamin D3 and why is it important?

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the body. It is naturally produced in the skin after sun exposure, but during winter months or for people with little sun exposure, supplementation can be beneficial. Solgar's vitamin D3 is identical to that produced by your body, which favors its absorption and utilization. Each vegetable capsule provides 125 mcg (5000 IU) of this vitamin, a dose designed for those who need an extra boost. In addition, Solgar uses high-quality ingredients and controlled processes to guarantee product purity.

Health benefits of vitamin D

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin D contributes to various physiological processes. These include:

• Normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, key minerals for bone structure.
• Maintenance of normal blood calcium levels, essential for nerve and muscle function.
• Maintenance of bones under normal conditions, helping to preserve their density.
• Maintenance of normal muscle function, which promotes mobility and balance.
• Normal functioning of the immune system, contributing to the body's defenses.

These effects are recognized by the EFSA, which supports the safety and efficacy of vitamin D3 in the context of a balanced diet.

How much vitamin D do you need? Recommended dose

Each Solgar vegetable capsule provides 125 mcg (5000 IU) of vitamin D3. This dose is suitable for adults with high needs, such as those with low sun exposure, dark skin, advanced age, or conditions affecting absorption. The recommended daily dose may vary depending on age, lifestyle, and the advice of a healthcare professional. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose without medical supervision, as very high doses may not be suitable for everyone. For optimal use, take one capsule daily with a fat-containing meal, which improves absorption.

Differences between vitamin D2 and D3

There are two main forms of vitamin D: D2 (ergocalciferol), of plant origin, and D3 (cholecalciferol), which is what the human body produces when exposed to the sun. Numerous studies indicate that vitamin D3 is more effective in raising and maintaining blood vitamin D levels, with superior bioavailability. Solgar uses high-quality cholecalciferol (D3), obtained from lanolin (sheep wool fat), which guarantees a natural and well-tolerated form. For those seeking a vegan option, there are lichen-based D3 sources, although this particular formula is not vegan.
