Many Canadians may not get enough vitamin D from sunlight alone, especially during the long winter months. That's why supplementing with a high-quality vitamin D3 like Pure Encapsulations can be a smart choice for maintaining overall health.

Understanding Vitamin D3 vs. D2

Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) from plant sources and D3 (cholecalciferol) from animal sources. Studies indicate that vitamin D3 is more effective at raising and sustaining blood levels of vitamin D compared to D2. Pure Encapsulations uses D3 sourced from lanolin, a natural source that mirrors the form your skin produces when exposed to sunlight.

Who Should Consider Vitamin D3 Supplementation?

Individuals with limited sun exposure, darker skin tones, older adults, or those following a vegan diet (note: this D3 is from lanolin, not vegan) may benefit from supplementation. People living in northern latitudes or during winter months often have lower vitamin D levels. Additionally, those with certain digestive conditions may experience reduced absorption. A healthcare professional can help determine if supplementation is right for you.

How to Incorporate Pure Encapsulations Vitamin D3

As a dietary supplement, take one capsule daily with a meal to enhance absorption, as vitamin D is fat-soluble. Each capsule provides 5,000 IU (125 mcg) of vitamin D3. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless directed by your healthcare provider.
