Life Extension Vitamin D3 with Marine Iodine, 125 mcg (5000 IU) – Immune Support, Bone, Thyroid Health – 1/Day, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO – 60 Capsules

What is Vitamin D3 with Sea Iodine?

Life Extension Vitamin D3 with Sea Iodine combines two essential nutrients in one convenient daily capsule. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) provides 125 mcg (5000 IU) of the most bioavailable form of vitamin D, while sea iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. This supplement is formulated for those looking to maintain optimal bone, immune system, and thyroid health. Each bottle contains 60 capsules, enough for two months of supplementation.

Benefits for Bone and Immune Health

Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, which helps maintain bones in normal conditions. Additionally, it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. These benefits are supported by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Iodine, for its part, contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. Adequate thyroid function is key for energy metabolism and general well-being.

The Role of Sea Iodine

The iodine in this product comes from marine sources, offering a natural form of this essential mineral. Iodine contributes to normal thyroid function, the production of thyroid hormones, and normal energy metabolism. The combination of vitamin D3 and iodine in a single supplement facilitates the daily intake of both nutrients, especially useful for people with little sun exposure or low-iodine diets.

Who Can Benefit?

This supplement may be suitable for adults who spend little time outdoors, elderly people, or those with increased needs for vitamin D and iodine. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially in cases of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or pre-existing health conditions.

How Much to Take? Recommended Dosage

It is recommended to take one capsule daily with food. Each capsule contains 125 mcg (5000 IU) of vitamin D3 and a significant amount of iodine. Since the vitamin D dose exceeds 1000 IU, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation. The maximum tolerable dose for adults according to EFSA is 100 mcg (4000 IU) daily, so this product is above that; the recommended dose should not be exceeded.
