Extra strength formula for people at increased risk of vitamin D deficiency DD3 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 all human cells, 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 may be due to insufficient sun exposure, wearing covering clothing, limited consumption of foods containing vitamin D, dark skin color, advanced age, or low use 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 sufficient calcium, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.
Adults: Take 1 capsule daily or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Take with adequate calcium intake. Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 6 months.
Medicinal ingredients (per capsule): Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) | 62.5 mcg (2500 IU) Nonmedicinal ingredients: Cellulose, hypromellose.
