Vitals Vitamin D3 drops The importance of high doses of vitamin D has been known for some time in the orthomolecular world. A flood of unequivocal research results is gradually convincing national and European government agencies. Both the recommended daily amounts and the maximum permitted doses continue to rise.
This product contains approximately 600 drops of 5 mcg vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol, from sheep's wool fat), enough for 300 doses of 10 mcg for babies and children or 120 doses of 25 mcg for adults. The convenient pipette allows for easy and accurate dosing. Vitamin D3 in drop form is ideal because it allows for different dosages. This makes this product suitable for the whole family, even for very young children and people who have difficulty swallowing capsules. In addition, the vitamin D3 dosage can easily be adjusted to the season, if desired.
Vitamin D3 most effective
The most common forms of vitamin D (calciferol) are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Ergocalciferol is a plant-based form, while cholecalciferol comes from animal sources but is also produced by humans in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet light, such as the sun (hence the nickname "sunshine vitamin"). These forms of vitamin D are converted in the liver into the metabolite calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D). Calcidiol is converted as needed in the kidneys and other cells and tissues into the biologically active hormone calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). However, regarding supplementation, it is important to know that in most cases, vitamin D3 appears to be more effective than vitamin D2 in increasing blood levels of calcidiol and ultimately calcitriol.
