Pure Encapsulations Vitamin D3 delivers 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D as cholecalciferol (D3) per capsule. Cholecalciferol is the naturally occurring form of vitamin D.
Vitamin D plays a key nutritional role in supporting healthy bones and cellular, cardiovascular, and immune health. It promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption and supports the reduction of urinary calcium loss, essential mechanisms for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for healthy bone composition.
Vitamin D supports cardiovascular function in some individuals, which may be attributed to its effect on calcium metabolism or by helping to maintain healthy plasma renin function. Vitamin D receptors are found on a number of immune cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages, supporting healthy immune cell activation.
Human diets alone do not provide sufficient vitamin D, particularly for those following vegetarian diets, and decreased sun exposure can contribute to vitamin D insufficiency. Daily supplementation is recommended, with many experts recommending 1,000 IU or more for optimal effect.
The formula is encapsulated in a single small vegetarian capsule and is gluten-free, Non-GMO, and hypoallergenic.
