Description
In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics doubled its vitamin D recommendations for infants, children, and adolescents to 400 IUs a day in response to the growing recognition of vitamin D deficiency as an epidemic (1). For children and adults who do not receive adequate sun exposure, experts recommend a minimum of 1000 IUs daily. Best known for its role in building and maintaining strong bones, vitamin D also helps regulate the immune and neuromuscular systems, and is key to optimizing health (1).
The recommended form of vitamin D is D3 (or cholecalciferol), the natural and most easily absorbed form, which the body makes from sunlight. One softgel contains 5000 IU of Vitamin D3. Ingredients include: Non-GMO olive oil, bone gelatin, glycerin, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), and purified water.
