Vitamin D3, 1000 IU, 180 Softgels, Now Foods

NOW Foods Vitamin D3 — 1,000 IU (25mcg) of Vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per softgel, sourced from lanolin and suspended in olive oil for optimal fat-soluble absorption, supporting strong bones, dental health, immune function, and mood. GMP quality assured. 180 softgels — 180-day supply.

Why

Vitamin D is often called the “sunshine vitamin” — but most of us simply don’t get enough sun exposure to produce adequate levels. In New Zealand’s cooler months, or for anyone who works indoors, deficiency is surprisingly common. Low Vitamin D is linked to weakened bones, poor dental health, reduced immune function, and low mood. NOW Foods Vitamin D3 1,000 IU delivers a clinically relevant maintenance dose in a highly absorbable olive oil softgel, making it one of the easiest and most effective ways to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels year-round. Cholecalciferol (D3) is the bioidentical form your skin produces from sunlight — significantly more effective than D2 at raising serum 25(OH)D levels. Sourced from lanolin (sheep’s wool wax) — not suitable for vegans. GMP quality assured by NOW Foods since 1968.

Formula Highlights

• Vitamin D3 1,000 IU / 25mcg per softgel (as cholecalciferol, from lanolin, 250% DV) — the bioidentical form of Vitamin D produced by the skin upon UVB exposure; significantly more effective than Vitamin D2 at raising and maintaining serum 25(OH)D levels; converted in the liver to 25(OH)D (calcidiol) and then in the kidneys to 1,25(OH)₂D (calcitriol), the active hormonal form; calcitriol activates the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in immune cells, bone cells, and throughout the body; sourced from lanolin (sheep’s wool wax), a natural animal-derived source; 1,000 IU is a widely recommended maintenance dose for adults
• Olive Oil Base — Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble; suspending it in olive oil ensures optimal dissolution and absorption in the small intestine; take with a fat-containing meal for best results
