• Extra-strength preparation for individuals at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency

D3 2500 provides 2,500 IU (62.5 mcg) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per capsule for increased bioavailability. The vitamin D receptor is present in almost every human cell, demonstrating the important role of vitamin D in maintaining good health. Despite the importance of vitamin D for many physiological functions, many Canadians have insufficient levels. This can be due to insufficient sun exposure, wearing covering clothing, limited consumption of vitamin D-containing foods, dark skin colour, advanced age, or low intake of vitamin D supplements. With just one capsule per day, this formula helps prevent vitamin D deficiency and may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis when combined with adequate calcium intake, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.
