Daily Manufacturing Vitamina D3 5000 UI (125 mcg) – Cápsulas Vegetarianas – No OGM, Sin Gluten, Kosher – Apoya Huesos, Sistema Inmune y Bienestar General – 100 Cápsulas

What is vitamin D and why is it important?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in multiple bodily functions. Known as the "sunshine vitamin," it is produced in the skin after exposure to sunlight. However, in Spain, especially during the winter months or in people with little sun exposure, it can be difficult to get enough vitamin D from the sun alone. Supplementation then becomes a practical option to maintain adequate levels.

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the most bioavailable form, identical to that produced by our body. This Daily Manufacturing supplement provides 5000 IU (125 mcg) per capsule in D3 form derived from lanolin, which ensures efficient absorption.

Benefits of vitamin D for health

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin D contributes to:

• The normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• The maintenance of normal blood calcium levels.
• The maintenance of normal bones.
• Normal muscle function.
• Normal immune system function.

In addition, vitamin D plays a role in cell division and helps reduce the risk of falls associated with postural instability and muscle weakness in people over 60 years of age. These benefits support the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D levels for overall well-being.

How much vitamin D do you need? Recommended dose

The recommended daily dose of vitamin D varies according to age, sun exposure, and health status. For adults, EFSA establishes an adequate intake of 15 mcg (600 IU) per day, although many people require higher doses to reach optimal levels. This supplement provides 5000 IU per capsule, a high dose that may be appropriate under professional supervision.

Important note: The dose of 5000 IU (125 mcg) exceeds the maximum tolerable level of 4000 IU (100 mcg) established by EFSA for adults. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before taking this product, especially if combined with other vitamin D supplements.

For general use, one capsule a day is usually sufficient. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice.

Differences between vitamin D2 and D3

There are two main forms of vitamin D: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is the form that the body naturally produces when exposed to the sun, while D2 comes from plant sources. Studies suggest that D3 is more effective in raising and maintaining blood vitamin D levels. This product uses pure D3, obtained from lanolin, which ensures optimal assimilation. D2, although more economical, requires higher doses to achieve similar effects.

When selecting a vitamin D supplement, consider aspects such as the form (D3 preferred over D2), the dose, product quality, and certifications. This Daily Manufacturing supplement stands out for:
