Vitamin D3 2000 IU with MCT Coconut Oil - Sports Research

What is Vitamin D and why is it important?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that the body produces when exposed to sunlight. However, during winter months or for those with low sun exposure, supplementation can be beneficial. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the most bioavailable form and similar to what the body generates. This Sports Research supplement provides 2000 IU per softgel, a double dose that helps maintain adequate levels.*

Health Benefits of Vitamin D

According to EFSA, vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, the maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function, and the normal function of the immune system.* This product is formulated to support these benefits in your daily life.*

How much Vitamin D do you need? Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose varies according to age and individual needs. EFSA establishes a tolerable upper limit (UL) of 4000 IU for adults. This supplement offers 2000 IU per capsule, an adequate amount to maintain optimal levels without exceeding the UL. Each container holds 360 softgels, enough for a year of daily use.

Differences between Vitamin D2 and D3

Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is of plant origin, but less effective at raising blood levels. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form the body produces and is found in animal sources such as lanolin. This product uses D3, the most recommended option due to its higher bioavailability.*

How to choose the best Vitamin D supplement

When choosing a supplement, consider the form (D3 is preferable), the dosage, and the quality of the ingredients. This product combines D3 with MCT coconut oil to improve absorption, as vitamin D is fat-soluble. In addition, it is Non-GMO, gluten-free and soy-free, and manufactured under strict quality controls. Its mini softgels are easy to swallow, ideal for those who prefer small capsules.*

Possible side effects and contraindications

Vitamin D is generally safe at recommended doses. Excessive doses (>4000 IU/day) can lead to toxicity. Consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation, especially if you are taking other medications. This product is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.
