Solgar Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 10 mcg (400 IU) Softgels, 250 Count

What Is Vitamin D3 and Why Does It Matter?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble nutrient essential for calcium absorption and overall health. Solgar Vitamin D3 provides 10 mcg (400 IU) of cholecalciferol, the same form your skin produces when exposed to sunlight. This daily softgel helps maintain strong bones and teeth while supporting your immune system. With 250 softgels per bottle, you get an eight-month supply of high-quality vitamin D3 from a trusted brand. Unlike vitamin D2 from plants, D3 is more bioavailable and effective at raising and maintaining blood levels. Solgar uses vitamin D3 derived from lanolin, and the oil-based softgels enhance absorption—take them with a meal containing fat for best results.

Who Should Consider a Vitamin D3 Supplement?

Many Canadians don't get enough vitamin D from sun exposure, especially during fall and winter. You might benefit from supplementing if you:

• Live in northern climates or have limited sun exposure
• Are older (the skin's ability to produce vitamin D declines with age)
• Have darker skin, which produces less vitamin D from sunlight
• Follow a diet low in vitamin D-rich foods
• Want a convenient, reliable daily maintenance dose

While 400 IU is ideal for maintaining healthy levels, consult your healthcare provider if you suspect a deficiency—they can recommend a blood test and personalized advice.

Key Benefits for Bones, Immunity, and More

• Bone and Teeth Health: Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption, helping maintain healthy bones and teeth throughout life.
• Immune System Support: It helps regulate immune cell function, contributing to a healthy defense against seasonal challenges.
• Muscle Function: Adequate vitamin D supports normal muscle contraction and coordination.
• Cell Growth and Development: Vitamin D plays a role in cell division and differentiation.

These benefits are supported by Health Canada, and vitamin D works best as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
