Life Extension Vitamin D3 is a softgel with a dosage of 25 mcg (1000 IU) per serving. A format for those looking for basic daily vitamin D support without excessive doses. 90 capsules per bottle - a three-month supply with a standard dosage regimen.
Composition and form of release
Each capsule contains 25 mcg of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) - this is 1000 IU. The active substance is dissolved in unrefined extra virgin olive oil and medium-chain triglycerides, which provides a fat-soluble base for absorption. The capsule shell is gelatin, glycerin and purified water are additionally used. Rosemary extract is used as an antioxidant.
The product does not contain gluten. The manufacturer is Non GMO LE Certified.
Why is vitamin D3 usually chosen?
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble compound that the body produces on its own when exposed to direct sunlight on the skin. In conditions of limited exposure to the sun, cloudy climates, or protective clothing, the synthesis of this vitamin is significantly reduced. That is why D3 supplements are one of the most common in the daily diet.
Vitamin D3 is positioned primarily as supporting normal bone growth and density - this is the main declared function indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging. It is also often chosen as part of a basic vitamin protocol, especially in the autumn-winter period, when natural synthesis is minimal.
How much vitamin D3 should you take per day?
The manufacturer's recommended dose is one capsule (1000 IU / 25 mcg) per day with a meal. Taking it with a meal is not accidental: D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin, and food containing fat improves its absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting a doctor.
A dosage of 1000 IU is considered moderate and is often used as a basic maintenance dose. Higher dosages (2000, 4000, 5000 IU) are chosen in other situations and are separate formats. If you are interested in a specific dosage, be guided by the results of a blood test and the recommendations of a doctor.
Features of reception and storage
Take one capsule daily with food. Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not use if the outer protective film on the bottle is damaged.
It is recommended to consult a doctor before starting treatment - especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you are already taking other medications or undergoing treatment.
Who is this format suitable for?
Capsules with a dosage of 1000 IU are convenient as a starting or maintenance format - for those who are introducing D3 into their diet for the first time, or for those for whom a moderate dose is enough. A supply of 90 capsules covers three months of uninterrupted intake.
The supplement is gluten-free and made without GMO ingredients - relevant for those who carefully monitor the composition. The liquid base (olive oil + MCT) in the soft capsule already creates a fatty environment, so D3 is absorbed even if the meal was low-fat.
