More about this product
High-strength vitamin D3 in a convenient one-a-day gummy.
Each gummy provides 100 µg (4,000 IU) of vitamin D3.
Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function and normal immune-system function. It also helps the body absorb and use calcium and phosphorus.
This is a high-strength vitamin D supplement. One gummy provides the NHS maximum daily amount recommended for adults, so it should not be treated as a routine "more is better" dose.
For most adults, NHS guidance says 10 µg of vitamin D per day is sufficient when supplementation is needed.
Key points
- 4,000 IU / 100 µg vitamin D3 per gummy
- One gummy per day
- Vegetarian
- Halal
- Easy gummy format for people who prefer not to swallow tablets or capsules
Why vitamin D matters
Vitamin D helps regulate calcium and phosphate in the body and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function.
It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
In the UK, sunlight is an important source of vitamin D. During autumn and winter, the NHS recommends that adults and children over four consider a daily supplement containing 10 µg of vitamin D because sunlight is not strong enough for the body to make sufficient vitamin D. Some people at higher risk of deficiency are advised to consider 10 µg throughout the year.
What does 4,000 IU mean?
Vitamin D is sometimes labelled in micrograms and sometimes in International Units.
100 µg vitamin D = 4,000 IU.
That is considerably more than the 10 µg daily amount recommended for routine supplementation for most adults.
It is also the maximum daily amount the NHS advises adults not to exceed from vitamin D supplements, unless a healthcare professional has advised otherwise.
That makes this a high-strength option rather than a product we would describe as necessary for everyone.
Directions
Adults: Take one gummy daily.
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Important information
One gummy provides 100 µg (4,000 IU) of vitamin D, which is the NHS maximum daily amount for adults.
Do not combine this product with other supplements containing vitamin D unless an appropriate healthcare professional has advised you to do so.
Taking excessive vitamin D over time can cause too much calcium to build up in the body. This can affect the bones, kidneys and heart.
Some medical conditions can mean that even this amount may not be appropriate. If you have an existing medical condition, take regular medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have been advised to take vitamin D for a diagnosed deficiency, speak to an appropriate healthcare professional about the dose that is right for you.
Keep out of reach of children.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
