Cytoplan Vitamin D3 62.5μg (Vegan) 60 Tablets

A wholefood, vitamin D supplement derived from lichen, making it ideal for vegetarians and vegans. One tablet provides 62.5µg (2500i.u.) of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, which is the most bioavailable form of this nutrient.

Cautions

This supplement contains 100µg (4000iu) of vitamin D3 per capsule. If taking other supplements containing vitamin D please check your total daily intake and if it is 125µg (5000iu) or more per day, for more than two to four months, you should have your vitamin D levels checked. An adequate blood level is considered to be above 50 nmol/litre; the scientific literature suggests that a higher level of between 100 to 150 nmol/litre is optimal; levels above 250 nmol/litre are not advised. Please note some laboratories use different units i.e. ng/ml rather than nmol/litre quoted here. In this case the optimal range is 40 to 60 ng/ml.

Storage

Keep cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.
