Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because your skin produces it when exposed to sunlight, but this should not be your only source. A vitamin D supplement does a lot. We recommend about 125 mcg (5,000 IU) to 200 mcg (8,000 IU) of vitamin D3 per day. If your multivitamin already provides 25 to 75 mcg (1,000 to 3,000 IU) of vitamin D, vitamin D3 125 mcg (5,000 IU) is perfect for achieving optimal levels.

Maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D helps preserve youthful cognitive function and offers wide-ranging benefits for bones, immune health, and more. That's why you should make sure you get enough of this essential vitamin every day:

cognitive health

Vitamin D is important for maintaining health and cognitive function as we age. Healthy serum levels of vitamin D have been shown to correspond to better scores on cognitive health tests and better maintenance of cognitive abilities in aging individuals.

Bone health and immune system health

Vitamin D (along with vitamin K and essential minerals) is essential to facilitate the transport of calcium into the bone matrix. This is an important step in maintaining strong and healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a key role in healthy immune function.

Heart health and blood pressure support

Vitamin D helps regulate the body's calcium balance by facilitating the absorption of calcium into the bloodstream, promotes a healthy inflammatory response in the cardiovascular system, and encourages healthy endothelial function. Vitamin D can also help inhibit excess renin levels. Healthy levels of renin help maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.

Getting enough vitamin D

This vitamin D3 supplement provides 175 mcg (7,000 IU) of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per softgel. We recommend that you perform a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test after 3 months to evaluate and adjust the dosage. Optimal blood levels should be 50-80 ng/mL all year round.
