Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), 125 mcg (5,000 IU), 100 Softgels, Solgar

Solgar Vitamin D3 — 125mcg (5,000 IU) of Vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per oil-based softgel, the bioidentical form your skin produces in sunlight, for optimal bone health, calcium absorption, and immune support. Non-GMO. Gluten-free. 100 softgels.

Why

Most of us simply don’t get enough sun — especially in New Zealand’s winter months. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form your body naturally produces from sunlight exposure, and without enough of it, bones, teeth, and immune function can all suffer. Vitamin D3 is significantly more effective than D2 at raising and maintaining serum 25(OH)D levels — the storage form measured in blood tests. Solgar’s high-potency 5,000 IU formula is delivered in an oil-based softgel for optimal absorption — Vitamin D is fat-soluble and is best absorbed when taken with a fat-containing meal. Ideal for those with confirmed low Vitamin D levels or limited sun exposure. Solgar — crafting premium supplements since 1947. Note: contains soybean oil and gelatin — not suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or those with soy allergy.

Formula Highlights

• Vitamin D3 125mcg / 5,000 IU per softgel (as cholecalciferol, 625% DV) — the bioidentical form of Vitamin D produced by the skin upon UVB exposure; significantly more effective than Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) at raising and maintaining serum 25(OH)D levels; converted in the liver to 25(OH)D (calcidiol) and then in the kidneys to 1,25(OH)₂D (calcitriol), the active hormonal form; calcitriol activates the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in immune cells, bone cells, and throughout the body; essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption, bone mineralisation, immune activation, and mood regulation
• Oil Base (soybean oil, corn oil) — Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble; delivering it in an oil base ensures optimal dissolution and absorption in the small intestine; take with a fat-containing meal for best results
