Vitamin D3 2000 IU FORTE, MCT, drops 50 ml

Vitamin D3 2000 IU FORTE, MCT oil drops 50 ml

This preparation solves one specific problem: counting drops. The manufacturer has packed the entire daily dose of vitamin D into one drop, which contains 50 µg, or 2000 IU, corresponding to 1000% of the reference intake value. The bottle has 50 ml, and the manufacturer calculates it to provide 1800 daily servings, so one package lasts a very long time. The carrier is MCT oil from coconut, as vitamin D dissolves in fats, and its source is lanolin: the raw material is marked with the Quali-D designation and comes from sheep’s wool. The manufacturer summarizes the composition with the term clean label, as there is nothing more in it besides the carrier, vitamin, and antioxidant. The manufacturer also provides one health claim for this ingredient: vitamin D helps in the proper functioning of the immune system. It is also recommended to perform a 25-(OH)D blood test before starting supplementation and discuss the result with a doctor or pharmacist, as the result indicates the real need much more than the product description.

Ingredients

The full list provided by the manufacturer:

• MCT oil from coconut (medium-chain triglycerides of fatty acids)
• Cholecalciferol (vitamin D from lanolin, Quali-D)
• Antioxidant: mixed tocopherols

Three items are really few, and that is the point. MCT oil from coconut is the carrier, which means absorption does not depend on the fat content of the meal, and the mixed tocopherols protect the contents of the bottle from oxidation. The vitamin itself comes from lanolin, that is, from sheep’s wool, and it is a natural source of cholecalciferol, described by the manufacturer with the Quali-D mark. The high concentration has a practical consequence worth remembering when dosing: since the entire portion fits in one drop, a mistake of one drop doubles the dose. The manufacturer also provides one health claim for this ingredient: vitamin D helps in the proper functioning of the immune system. The method of use explains the rest: the bottle must be shaken well before each use, and a drop should be measured on a spoon and added to water, juice, or another cool liquid, not hot. At this concentration, measuring on a spoon is a practical recommendation, not a formality.

How to use

The manufacturer describes it in two sentences. Shake the bottle well before use. Then measure one drop on a spoon and add it to water, juice, or another cool liquid. The spoon is not a decoration here: at a concentration where one drop is the entire portion, measuring directly into the mouth easily leads to mistakes.

• Shake the bottle well before use
• Daily serving: 1 drop
• Measure the drop on a spoon
• Add to water, juice, or another cool liquid
• Do not exceed the recommended daily serving

Cool liquid, not hot. High temperatures are not good for fat-soluble vitamins.

For whom

This variant is for someone who regularly supplements vitamin D and is tired of counting drops, as well as for those who care about a possibly simple composition. Three items in the list are an argument in themselves if you avoid unnecessary additives. However, it is worth being aware of the other side of this concentration: a mistake of one drop means doubling the dose, so measuring on a spoon, as requested by the manufacturer, is a practical recommendation, not a formality. Before starting supplementation, the manufacturer recommends performing a 25-(OH)D blood test and consulting the result with a doctor or pharmacist, which makes sense with vitamin D also because the test result indicates the real need much more than any product description. A 50 ml bottle, with one drop daily, according to the manufacturer, provides 1800 servings, so one package lasts a very long time. This is one of the consequences of high concentration: the smaller the portion, the more it fits in the bottle.

Frequently asked questions

How many drops to take daily?

One. The manufacturer has packed the entire daily portion into one drop, which contains 50 µg of vitamin D, or 2000 IU, corresponding to 1000% of the reference intake value. It is recommended to measure it on a spoon and add it to water, juice, or another cool liquid, and not to exceed the recommended portion.

How long does the bottle last?

The manufacturer states 1800 daily servings with a capacity of 50 ml, so with one drop daily, one package lasts a very long time. This is one of the consequences of high concentration: the smaller the portion, the more servings fit in the same bottle. The manufacturer does not convert this into days of use, so such a conversion depends on your rhythm.

Where does the vitamin D in this preparation come from?

From lanolin, that is, from sheep’s wool, and it is a natural source of cholecalciferol. The manufacturer describes the raw material with the Quali-D mark and states that it is obtained in the form of finely dispersed particles. The Quali mark belongs to the raw material supplier and is not a trade name of the preparation itself.

Why is there MCT oil in the drops?

Vitamin D dissolves in fats, so it needs a fatty carrier to be absorbed. MCT oil from coconut serves this role and ensures that taking the preparation does not have to be associated with a fatty meal. This is also the reason why the manufacturer instructs to shake the bottle well before each use.

Variants and category

The manufacturer offers the same dose also in a smaller bottle, as well as separately variants with vitamin K2 and twice the strength. Other vitamins in drops and capsules can be found in the vitamins category.
