Vitamin D3 4000 IU is a single-ingredient product in a small tablet: the manufacturer declares 100 \u00b5g of cholecalciferol, which is 4000 international units, corresponding to 2000% of the reference intake value. The raw material is lanolin - the most commonly used source of vitamin D3 in supplements, of animal origin, obtained from sheep wool wax. This immediately excludes this product from a vegan diet, and it's information worth knowing before purchase, not after. The packaging contains 240 tablets at a serving of one tablet per day, so it is designed for a very long usage period. Besides the vitamin itself, the tablet contains only two excipients, and the manufacturer declares the absence of gluten, eggs, soy, milk protein, and lactose. It's also important to mention the most crucial point: this is a large daily dose of vitamin D. This is not a product to be taken lightly, and the dosage of this size should ideally be determined with a doctor, preferably after checking your test results.<\/p>\n
The composition provided by the manufacturer and distributor is three-component:<\/p>\n
The first thing in this composition is the source of the vitamin: cholecalciferol from lanolin is an animal-derived raw material, so despite the very short list of ingredients, the product is not vegan. An alternative in the same chemical form is cholecalciferol from lichens, but that is a different raw material and a different SKU. Here the manufacturer clearly indicates lanolin. The second is sorbitol as a filler. It is a sugar alcohol, so the declaration \"sugar-free\" remains technically true, but individuals who poorly tolerate polyols should be aware of its presence. Besides that, the list is short and closes with three items: no colorants, no flavors, and no coating. The manufacturer's allergen declarations are stated directly, listing gluten, eggs, soy, milk protein, and lactose as absent, and separately adding the absence of starch, salt, and sugar, as well as NON-GMO. How long to take a dose of this size should be determined with a doctor - this is a question about your test results, not about the label.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer provides one very simple scheme and does not differentiate it based on the season or the age of the adult user:<\/p>\n
Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so take the tablet with a meal containing fat. For a dose of this size, consult with your doctor whether and how long to use it, preferably after checking your vitamin D level in the blood.<\/p>\n
This product is for an adult who consciously chooses a large daily dose of vitamin D and knows why they are taking it, most often after discussing it with a doctor or after testing. The format and size of the packaging are consistent with such a scenario: a small tablet, one daily, 240 tablets in a box, which means a supply counted in months, without the need to buy more frequently. Vitamin D contributes to the proper absorption of calcium and phosphorus, to maintaining healthy bones and teeth, to the proper functioning of muscles, and to the immune system. These are all statements permitted for this ingredient. Who this product will not serve: individuals on a vegan diet, as the raw material comes from sheep wool, and those looking for a smaller daily dose - the manufacturer does not offer that in this packaging, and the tablets should not be divided without consultation. In the same category, you will find products with a smaller daily dose, described with their own values from their own labels.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer declares 100 \u00b5g of cholecalciferol, which is 4000 IU, corresponding to 2000% of the reference intake value. This is one of the larger daily doses available over the counter, and it should be treated as a decision, not a default choice. Besides vitamin D3, the tablet contains only two excipients.<\/p>\n
No. Cholecalciferol comes from lanolin, which is derived from sheep wool wax, and this is an animal-derived raw material. The manufacturer states this directly in the composition and in the product name. If you are looking for plant-based vitamin D3, you need a preparation with cholecalciferol from lichens - this is a different raw material and a different product.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer declares the absence of sugar, starch, and salt, as well as gluten, eggs, soy, milk protein, and lactose. The filling substance is sorbitol, which is a sugar alcohol - this is not sugar in the sense of the declaration, but individuals who poorly tolerate polyols should be aware of its presence before purchasing.<\/p>\n
The reference intake value is a benchmark from food labeling regulations, not a recommended serving for a specific person. The notation of 2000% indicates that one tablet significantly exceeds this reference value - and that is why this is a serving to be determined with a doctor, preferably after measuring the level of vitamin D in the blood, rather than a default choice.<\/p>\n
The manufacturer offers the same vitamin in other dosages and forms, and in this category, vitamin K2 MK-7 in drops is often paired with it - both vitamins are fat-soluble and are sometimes used together. If you prefer drops and a complete set of fat-soluble vitamins in one product, we also have ADEK drops with vitamins A, D, E, and K. We have gathered all items from this shelf in the category Supplements<\/a>.<\/p>\n On the blog, we explain, why it is worth combining vitamin D3 with K2<\/a>, and how to dose menaquinone MK-7<\/a>. We also write about what to watch out for when supplementing seniors<\/a>.<\/p>\n The preparation is intended for adults. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult with a doctor or pharmacist before use. Do not use if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients. For a serving of this size, consult with a doctor about whether and how long to use it - especially if you are taking other preparations containing vitamin D or calcium. Do not use the product if the internal packaging seal is broken. Store the package closed, in a cool and dry place, and out of reach of small children.<\/p>\n Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The dietary supplement cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n Do you have questions about the daily serving or the composition?
