Vitamin D3 from VPLab in a dosage of 4000 IU - softgel capsules for daily replenishment of the deficiency, which is especially common among residents of northern latitudes and those who spend little time in the sun.
Why is vitamin D3 needed additionally?
The body synthesizes vitamin D on its own - but only under direct sunlight and without protective clothing or sunscreen. Dark skin, age, cloudy weather and a predominantly indoor lifestyle dramatically reduce this synthesis. Food sources - fatty fish, fortified dairy products - provide a small fraction of the need. The result: D3 deficiency remains one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in Europe and Ukraine.
The standard recommended daily allowance (NRV) is 400-800 IU, but many nutrition experts indicate that the actual requirement - especially in the fall and winter - may be significantly higher. The 4,000 IU dosage in this product meets the upper limit of safe daily intake recommended by a number of reputable organizations.

Proven functions of vitamin D3
According to regulatory data, vitamin D3 contributes to:
- normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus;
- maintaining normal calcium levels in the blood;
- normal functioning of the immune system;
- maintaining the normal state of bone tissue;
- normal muscle function;
- maintaining the normal condition of teeth;
- participation in the process of cell division.
Vitamin D functions as a hormone: receptors for it are found in almost every cell in the body, which explains its wide range of physiological roles.
Softgel format: what is the advantage?
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble compound. Soft gelatin capsules contain an oil base, which improves the solubility and absorption of the active substance in the digestive tract compared to dry tablets or powder capsules. For daily use, this is a practical and convenient format without a specific taste.
Who and when is the reception appropriate?
The supplement is suitable for adults who:
- live in regions with limited insolation or spend most of their time indoors;
- use sunscreen or protective clothing for most of the day;
- have a darker skin tone (which reduces D3 synthesis under the influence of UV);
- belong to age groups at increased risk of deficiency;
- want to support the skeletal system, immunity and muscle tone during the cold season.
120 capsules in a bottle - a supply for 4 months with a standard intake of 1 capsule per day.
Storage and reception conditions
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, at room temperature. Take during or after a meal containing fat - this increases the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamin. Before starting to take 4000 IU, it is recommended to consult a doctor or check the level of 25(OH)D in the blood.
