Vitamin D3 75 mcg, 60 caps

Vitamin D is important for many different functions in the body. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps to maintain normal bones. Vitamin D also contributes to normal muscle function and the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

Most people in the Nordic region get too little vitamin D during the winter months, as it is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, it's a good idea to supplement your diet with vitamin D.

Those of us living in the Nordic countries generally get too little sun throughout the year, so it can be wise to take extra vitamin D all year round, especially during the months with less sun.

Children are often at risk of getting too little vitamin D. We recommend supplements especially for children who are rarely outdoors, wear full-coverage clothing even in summer, or do not eat fish and vitamin D-fortified foods. For children, vitamin D is essential for the normal growth and development of bones, as well as for maintaining the normal function of the immune system. We have vitamin D supplements specially formulated for children.

We often recommend a vitamin D supplement for women who are trying to conceive. It is important to have good levels of vitamin D in the body once you become pregnant.

Vitamin D is also important for older people and women around menopause as it contributes to strong bones.

Vitamin D can also be beneficial for people who experience leg discomfort at night. If the body has insufficient vitamin D, calcium levels can drop. This may cause the body to draw calcium from bone mass, which can lead to a dull ache in the legs.

Most people in the Nordic region get too little vitamin D during the winter months, as it is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight, and the sun is low in our countries during this period.

The most reliable way to find out if you have a vitamin D deficiency is to have a blood test at your GP surgery.

Common symptoms of deficiency can include tiredness and a lack of energy. This is one of the most common, yet also most vague, signs.

You might also experience muscle and bone pain, and a diffuse ache in the muscles, lower back, legs, or pelvis.

Some people experience a general low mood, especially during the winter months.

Vitamin D is also important for the immune system.

*We do not make any medical claims, so we always recommend that you consult a doctor for help with your specific health situation.

You get vitamin D from the sun, oily fish, and fortified products. During autumn and winter, many people need an extra supplement as we in the Nordic region are generally exposed to less sun. If you want to test your vitamin D levels, you can contact your GP surgery or a private provider that offers tests.

We generally recommend taking vitamin D in the morning. A good rule of thumb is to take vitamins in the morning and minerals in the evening for best absorption. It is also perfectly fine to take vitamin D at the same time as other morning supplements, such as Omega-3 and a Multivitamin.

Yes. Because vitamin D is fat-soluble, it is stored in the body. However, it requires taking very high doses via food supplements over a long period to risk an overdose.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has set an upper safe limit of 100 micrograms (µg) per day for adults.

As long as you follow the recommended daily dose on our products, it is completely safe. Just remember to calculate your total intake if you combine several supplements (for example, vitamin D and a multivitamin), so that you do not exceed 100 µg per day.

Our Vitamin D contains 75 mcg (3000 IU) of vitamin D.

People with:

• kidney problems

• certain medical conditions

• specific medication

should consult a healthcare professional before using high doses.

Those of us living in the Nordic countries generally get far too little sun over the course of a year, so it can be wise to take extra vitamin D all year round. However, you can adjust the dosage to a slightly lower amount if you spend a lot of time in the sun during the summer months. When the skin is exposed to sunlight, vitamin D is produced and then stored for later use. These stores can then help during the darker months with less sun, especially in northern countries.

The difference between cheaper and more high-quality vitamin D supplements can be significant when it comes to the contents and the quality of the raw material.

Premium products usually contain D3. D3 is generally considered more effective, has better absorption in the body, and contains fewer additives. The traceability of the raw material, sustainable production, and a vegan source are also factors that often distinguish high-quality supplements from cheaper alternatives. More expensive products also often have vitamin D dissolved in oil for optimal absorption in the body.

The contents can also come from animal or plant sources. Our Vitamin D is vegan and extracted from lichen. Vegan D3 is usually significantly more expensive.

As a rule, it is perfectly fine to combine vitamin D with other food supplements and vitamins without risking an overdose.

We recommend supplementing vitamin D with magnesium and vitamin K2. This is because all minerals and vitamins interact, acting as either antagonists or synergists. K2 and magnesium are synergists, meaning they work together. K2 helps prevent calcium from being deposited in soft tissues like blood vessel walls and is needed to deposit calcium into the skeleton. Magnesium is needed to activate vitamin D, which means you may find it difficult to increase your blood levels of vitamin D, despite taking it, if your magnesium levels are too low. To optimise your intake, you can therefore add magnesium and K2.

Vitamin K is particularly good to combine with vitamin D. We have developed a combination vitamin that contains both vitamin D and vitamin K. These two vitamins work together in the body. Vitamin D helps to get calcium into the blood, and vitamin K ensures it is deposited in the skeleton and doesn't clog the blood vessels. Vitamin D3/K2 is beneficial for your immune system, muscle function, and skeleton, among other things.

We recommend supplementing vitamin D with magnesium. This is because all minerals and vitamins interact, acting as either antagonists or synergists. Magnesium is a so-called synergist, meaning they work together. Magnesium is needed to activate vitamin D, which means you may find it difficult to increase your blood levels of vitamin D, despite taking it, if your magnesium levels are too low.

A common question we receive is whether you can take vitamin D with vitamin K while also taking blood-thinning medications. Our recommendation is to be cautious and always consult your doctor, as the vitamin K in the product has a coagulating effect on the blood.

We do not have medical expertise, so it is important that you speak with your doctor about your specific health situation.

Most of our capsules can be opened if you have difficulty swallowing them whole. However, this particular vitamin D contains coconut oil, and the contents are sticky because of this, which can make it difficult to get everything out.

Yes, it can, because it is the exact same form of vitamin D as non-vegan alternatives, even though ours is extracted from algae instead of fish liver or lanolin, which some other vitamin D supplements are derived from.
