Research on Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency is common during winter months, from November to April. Vitamin D is converted into an active form in the body as a result of sunlight, that is, UVB radiation. Since we get less sunlight from October and it is difficult to get the right amount of vitamins through food, it is not surprising that this deficiency disease is so common.

This fat-soluble vitamin, often called a hormone, is the subject of a growing amount of research. Vitamin D is essential for the normal functioning of the body. This fat-soluble vitamin, often called a hormone, is the subject of increasing research. There is now no doubt that its role in the body is much more complex than just maintaining bone health.

Effectively absorbed form of vitamin D

Each Puritan's Pride vitamin D softgel contains 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. The bioavailability of vitamin D3 is significantly higher than that of vitamin D2. This is the most effectively absorbed form of vitamin D and its use is also more efficient.

Recommended dosage

Current recommendations suggest that the daily recommended intake of vitamin D is 2,000 IU. Double this, 4,000 IU, is recommended during menopause, infectious diseases, and osteoporosis. An increasing number of studies show that in the long term, 10,000 IU of vitamin D may pose no risk in healthy adults.

However, side effects have been reported at extremely high doses (50,000 IU and higher), such as vomiting, increased urination, thirst, encephalopathy (brain disease), and kidney failure.

Since vitamin D can be stored in the body, long-term supplementation with excessively high doses of vitamin D can lead to overdose, with symptoms such as nausea, poor appetite, and weakness.

Usage and safety

Higher doses of vitamin D supplements can be an effective and convenient alternative. One of its great benefits is that it can be taken to achieve rapid improvement in severe vitamin deficiency.
