It is known as the \"sunshine vitamin\" because the skin produces it when exposed to sunlight. However, in Spain, especially during the autumn and winter months, sun exposure is insufficient to maintain optimal levels. Therefore, vitamin D supplements are a practical option to meet daily needs. This product provides 1000 IU of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per tablet, the form closest to that produced by the human body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHealth benefits of vitamin D\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin D contributes to:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe maintenance of normal bones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNormal muscle function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNormal immune system function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese benefits are scientifically recognised and make vitamin D a key nutrient for bone, muscle and immune health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow much vitamin D do you need? Recommended dose\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin D intake recommendations vary depending on age, lifestyle and sun exposure. EFSA establishes an adequate intake of 15 µg (600 IU) per day for adults, and 20 µg (800 IU) for those over 70. This supplement provides 1000 IU per tablet, a moderate dose that can help maintain adequate levels, especially in people with low sun exposure or increased needs. It is recommended to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to improve its absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDifferences between vitamin D2 and D3\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two main forms of vitamin D in supplements: D2 (ergocalciferol), of plant origin, and D3 (cholecalciferol), which is obtained from lanolin (sheep's wool fat) and is the same form produced by human skin. Research suggests that vitamin D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining blood vitamin D levels. This product uses vitamin D3, making it a particularly efficient option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose the best vitamin D supplement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing a vitamin D supplement, it is advisable to look at the form (D3 vs. D2), the dose and the quality of the product. This supplement offers 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per tablet, in a 200-coated tablet format that facilitates swallowing. It is an economical and long-lasting presentation, ideal for prolonged daily consumption. In addition, the product is manufactured following strict quality controls, which guarantees its purity and potency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePossible side effects and contraindications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is safe at recommended doses. However, very high and prolonged doses can lead to toxicity (hypercalcaemia). EFSA sets a maximum tolerable level of 100 µg (4000 IU) per day for adults. This amount should not be exceeded without medical supervision. This product provides 1000 IU, well below the limit, so its normal use is safe. People with kidney disease, sarcoidosis or who are taking medications such as thiazide diuretics should consult their doctor before taking vitamin D supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Vitamins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48764621357210,"sku":null,"price":34.68,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/4831\/0170\/files\/61JiCNgxfoL._AC_SL1000.jpg?v=1784481759","url":"https:\/\/vitaminaspain.es\/es\/products\/vitamina-d3-1000-ui-200-comprimidos-basic-vitamins-b00m3e2tnw","provider":"vitaminaspain","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
