Vitamin D3
Product Description
- Supports strong bones, teeth, and a healthy immune system
- Many clinical trials have demonstrated the vast health benefits of vitamin D
- Maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D is important to optimal health*
Many of us don't get the level of vitamin D3 we need through our diets or exposure to sunlight. In fact, anyone living in a northern climate, working indoors most of the year, or who has darker skin, probably needs a supplemental source of vitamin D3.
Healthy bones and teeth require adequate levels of vitamin D3 in order to utilize and process calcium and phosphorus as it is absorbed in the intestines. For immune health, vitamin D supports healthy immune activity at the cellular level.*
Aside from its benefits for bone and immune health, clinical trials show higher serum levels of vitamin D are associated with healthy mental function. Additional studies, particularly in older adults, have found that increased serum levels of vitamin D are associated with healthy brain function.*
Despite the overwhelming evidence of health benefits, the recommended daily intake of vitamin D3 remains too low. Many experts recommend a much higher supplemental level.
Vitamin D3 Chewable provides 5,000 IU of cholecalciferol—the body's preferrred form of vitamin D3—in a convenient, great-tasting tablet. It's the right choice to support healthy bones, immune defense, cognitive function, and cellular health.*

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why not vitamin D2?
Vitamin D2, also known as “ergocalciferol,” is not as absorbable because it must be converted to vitamin D3 by the body. Supplemental vitamin D3 typically shows much better use by the body than vitamin D2 because it doesn’t require this extra step.
Can’t I just get vitamin D from sunlight?
Even though our bodies do synthesize vitamin D3 following exposure to sunlight, most of us don’t spend enough time outdoors for this to happen regularly and for any sustained benefit. In fact, vitamin D3 levels are a major concern for individuals living in the northern latitudes, working indoors, or with darker skin. Having a reliable and convenient supplemental source of vitamin D3 simply ensures that you get the levels you need.
What is the source of vitamin D3?
The source of vitamin D3 in this supplement is lanolin from sheep’s wool oil. The sheep are not harmed during the process, it is simply a co-product of the shearing and wool-production process.
