Vitamin D3 5000 IU Soft gels - 125 mcg - Non-GMO, Gluten-free - 120 Count

Understanding Vitamin D3 and D2

Vitamin D exists in two primary forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is naturally produced in the skin upon sun exposure and found in animal-based foods. Research indicates D3 may be more effective in raising and maintaining blood Vitamin D levels compared to D2. WOW Supplements uses vitamin D3 derived from lanolin (sheep’s wool), ensuring high bioavailability. The 5000 IU (125 mcg) dosage is ideal for Canadians who need extra support, especially during months with limited sunlight.

Key Benefits of Vitamin D3

• Bone Health: Vitamin D3 helps maintain healthy bones and teeth by aiding calcium absorption.*
• Immune Function: It supports normal immune system function, helping you stay resilient.*
• Muscle Function: Adequate Vitamin D levels contribute to normal muscle performance and reduce fall risk in older adults.*
• Overall Wellness: Vitamin D3 assists in maintaining normal blood calcium levels and supports cardiovascular health.*

Who Needs Vitamin D Supplementation?

Many Canadians can benefit from daily Vitamin D supplementation. Those at higher risk include individuals with limited sun exposure (e.g., living in northern regions, working indoors), people with darker skin, older adults, and those following a vegan diet (note: this D3 source is lanolin-based, not vegan). Additionally, conditions affecting fat absorption (e.g., Crohn’s, celiac disease) may necessitate supplementation. Always consult a healthcare practitioner to determine your specific needs.

Recommended Dosage of Vitamin D

The recommended daily intake of Vitamin D varies by age and health status. For most adults, Health Canada suggests 600 IU (15 mcg) daily, but many experts advocate higher levels for optimal blood concentrations. A 5000 IU (125 mcg) supplement is considered high potency and is often used to correct deficiencies or bolster immunity during winter. The tolerable upper intake level for adults is 4000 IU (100 mcg) per day; 5000 IU exceeds this, so use under medical supervision or as directed by a health-care professional. WOW Supplements Vitamin D3 5000 IU soft gels provide a convenient way to achieve higher intake without exceeding safe limits when used as recommended.
