Cytoplan Vitamin D3 62.5µg (2500i.u.) Wholefood Vegan

Cytoplan

A wholefood vegan vitamin D3 supplement providing vitamin D3 from algae, making it ideal for vegetarians and vegans. One tablet provides 62.5µg (2500i.u.) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is the most bioavailable form of vitamin D.

Vitamin D3 plays multiple roles in the body, including contributing to the normal function of the immune system, the absorption and utilisation of calcium, and the maintenance of bones, teeth, and muscle function.

Vitamin D is frequently referred to as the Sunshine Vitamin” as sunlight is necessary for the synthesis of this vitamin (which is produced underneath the skin following exposure to sunlight)

Those at particular risk for vitamin D deficiency are the elderly (65 years+), those who rarely get outdoors (lack of sunshine) and people with dark skin.

Please note this supplement contains 62.5µg (2500iu) of vitamin D per tablet. If taking other supplements containing vitamin D, please check your total daily intake. If it is 125µg (5000iu) or more per day, for more than two to four months, you should have your vitamin D levels checked regularly.

An adequate blood level is considered to be above 50 nmol/litre; the scientific literature suggests that a higher level than this is optimal. However, levels above 250 nmol/litre are not advised and in this case, measures should be taken to lower levels. Please note some laboratories use different units i.e. ng/ml rather than nmol/litre quoted here. In this case an adequate blood level is considered to be 20ng/ml (again the optimal range is higher than this).
