Myprotein Vitamin D3 Softgels are a convenient way to get your daily dose of cholecalciferol when sunlight or dietary sources are lacking. 180 capsules per bottle - enough for a long course without interruption.
Composition and form of vitamin D3
The active substance is cholecalciferol, a fat-soluble form of vitamin D3. This form is synthesized by the skin under the influence of UV radiation and is considered natural for the human body. The capsule form is a soft gelatin shell that facilitates swallowing and protects the contents from moisture.
Check the dosage per capsule and the composition of excipients on the packaging or in the product card on cbdua.org - the manufacturer may update the formula.
Why take vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 supports the absorption of calcium in the intestine - without sufficient levels of D3, calcium from food or supplements is absorbed much more poorly. This makes cholecalciferol an important nutrient for maintaining bone tissue and normal muscle function.
In addition, D3 is involved in the functioning of the immune system. Vitamin D deficiency is a common condition, especially in the autumn-winter period or in people with limited sun exposure. Most food sources (fatty fish, egg yolk, fortified foods) contain it in small amounts, which are rarely enough to cover the daily requirement.
How much vitamin D3 should you take per day?
The recommended intake level depends on the baseline vitamin D level in the blood, age, lifestyle and season. The generally accepted guidelines for adults are from 1000 IU (25 mcg) to 4000 IU (100 mcg) per day as a maintenance dose; the exact dosage is determined by a doctor or nutritionist based on the results of the 25(OH)D analysis.
The supplement is taken with food containing fats - this improves the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamin.
How is vitamin D3 different from D2?
D3 (cholecalciferol) and D2 (ergocalciferol) are two forms of vitamin D, but studies consistently show that D3 is more effective at raising blood 25(OH)D levels at equivalent dosages. Myprotein uses D3, which is in line with current recommendations from most nutritional organizations.
Vitamin D3 and K2: Should You Combine Them?
Vitamin K2 is often considered a supplement to D3 - K2 is involved in the distribution of calcium in the body, directing it to the bones and teeth. If you take D3 in dosages of 2000 IU per day for a long period of time, a combination with K2 may be appropriate - check with your doctor or nutritionist. Myprotein Vitamin D3 contains only D3 without K2 in the composition, so K2 is added separately if necessary.
Who is Myprotein capsule format suitable for?
180 capsules in a bottle - a practical choice for those who take vitamin D3 daily during the autumn-winter season or on a permanent basis. The gelatin capsule has no pronounced taste, is easy to swallow. The format is convenient for home use and travel - the bottle is compact.
Suitable for adults who want to maintain D3 levels in their blood without daily sun exposure or dietary changes.
