Each Lamberts Vitamin D3 1000iu gummy provides 25µg of vitamin D in the preferred, highly bioavailable D3 form, for maximum absorption. With a delicious apple flavour and no added sugar or sweeteners, gummies are ideal for anyone who struggles with tablets or capsules.
Vitamin D3 is naturally synthesised in the body when sunlight directly hits the skin and offers superior absorption to the D2 form that is made from plants. Our bodies obtain vitamin D3 (which is a steroid hormone) from two sources, our diet and from the action of sunlight on our skin which drives the natural production within the body. If we all had more sun then we would have plenty of vitamin D, but in reality, we do need to obtain some from our diet, particularly during the winter months and in the elderly as the body's ability to manufacture vitamin D declines with age.
Indeed, as many as 60% of the UK population is vitamin D deficient and low levels have been linked to serious health problems in later life. In fact, vitamin D contributes to:
- Normal absorption/utilisation of calcium
- Normal blood calcium levels
- The maintenance of normal bones and teeth
- The maintenance of normal muscle function
- The normal function of the immune system
At the given level, Lamberts Vitamin D3 1000iu (25μg) is often recommended during the winter months, when vitamin D levels are low, but this product can be taken all year round, particularly if there is limited sun exposure during the spring and summer months.
How to use:Children aged 4 years and over, chew 1 gummy daily. Adults chew 1 to 2 gummies daily.
