Liquid vitamin D3 from Solaray - 25 mcg (1000 IU) in each drop, 14.8 ml bottle. The format is for those who prefer to dose in drops rather than swallow tablets: you can add it to a drink or take it separately, adjusting the number of drops to your needs.
Composition and form
Active ingredient - vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in a dosage of 25 mcg per drop. Auxiliary ingredients: high-oleic oil and vegetable oil as a base, a mixture of tocopherols, mono- and diglycerides, natural rosemary extract and citric acid. Fatty oil base is the standard for lipophilic vitamins: D3 is fat-soluble, therefore it is absorbed in such an environment.
Manufacturer's barcode: 076280731613. Brand - Solaray, an American manufacturer of dietary supplements.
What is vitamin D3 for?
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble nutrient that the body synthesizes under the influence of ultraviolet light, but in conditions of limited sun exposure (autumn-winter, office work, cloudy climate) this synthesis is often insufficient. Supplements in dosages of 1000 IU (25 mcg) and above are a common option for supporting the daily diet.
The main roles attributed to this vitamin include supporting normal calcium and phosphorus absorption, healthy bones and teeth, and normal immune system function. These are the functions listed in Solaray's regulatory-approved product labeling.
How much vitamin D3 should you take per day?
The manufacturer recommends 1 drop up to five times a day. One drop is 25 mcg (1000 IU), five drops are 125 mcg (5000 IU). The liquid format allows for flexible dosing: 1-2 drops for basic support, more if a higher dosage is needed (e.g. 2000, 4000 or 5000 IU). Can be taken alone or mixed with food or drink.
The specific dosage depends on individual needs and blood levels of vitamin D - before taking higher doses for a long time, you should consult a doctor. The supplement is positioned as a dietary supplement, not a medicine.
Liquid form: when it's convenient
The 14.8 ml bottle is compact, with a dropper dispenser. Compared to capsules or tablets: the liquid does not need to be washed down, it is easy to add to a morning drink or a spoonful of yogurt, convenient for people who have difficulty swallowing solid forms. A bottle of this volume, at a dosage of 1-2 drops per day, is designed for about several months of use.
The oil base is stabilized with a mixture of tocopherols and rosemary extract - natural antioxidants that protect the fat-soluble vitamin from oxidation during storage.
Vitamin D3 and K2: does it make sense to combine them?
This Solaray product contains only D3 - no K2. The combination of D3 + K2 is often discussed in the context of bone support, but this is a separate supplement format. If you are looking for a combination option - CBDUA has such positions in its assortment. Solaray Vitamin D-3 25 mcg is suitable for those who want D3 in its pure form with the ability to adjust the dose themselves.
