Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is a recognised nutrient with a European Nutrient Reference Value, which means its content must be declared per portion on the label and expressed as a percentage of that reference intake.

Approved claims for Vitamin D3

These statements are shown in the exact wording approved for Vitamin D3 under EU and GB nutrition and health claims registers.

Forms and what appears on a label

Different chemical forms of Vitamin D3 carry different amounts of the nutrient itself. Our labels declare the elemental or active amount per portion, not the weight of the compound, so the figure can be compared honestly with other products.

Where it comes from

Sunlight synthesis, oily fish, egg yolks.

Dose and how we use it

Sustainably-sourced lanolin D3 in our Immune and Bone formulations.

Take with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Pair with vitamin K2 to guide calcium into bone rather than soft tissue.

What research has — and has not — established

Nutrient function is established through the EU and GB authorised claim registers rather than through individual studies. Only the wording those registers permit appears on this page.

Cautions and interactions

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily portion. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care, seek professional advice before use.
