Vitals Vitamin D3 dropsIn the orthomolecular world, the importance of high doses of vitamin D has been known for quite some time. Gradually, an abundance of unambiguous research results is also convincing national and European government institutions. Both the recommended daily allowances and the maximum permitted dosages 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. With the convenient pipette, dosing can be done easily and accurately. Vitamin D3 in drop form is ideal because it offers the possibility to use 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 'sun 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). In terms of supplementation, however, it is important to know that vitamin D3 in most cases appears to be more effective than vitamin D2 in increasing calcidiol in the blood and ultimately calcitriol.
