Vitamin D3 50 Plus − Vegan Friendly

What is Vitamin D3 50 Plus? Vitamin D plays a critical role in calcium absorption, muscle function, immune support, and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It’s often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” is synthesized when skin is exposed to sunlight, however research shows that your body's capacity to effectively make vitamin D falls by more than 50% between the ages of 20 and 80. In the UK, sunlight is not strong enough to produce adequate vitamin D between October and March, and modern indoor lifestyles further contribute to widespread insufficient levels, even during summer months. As many as one in five individuals therefore have insufficient levels of vitamin D and the NHS advises that adults require at least 10 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin D daily to maintain optimal health. This recommendation is especially important for those at increased risk of low levels such as pregnant and breastfeeding women. Why is ours better? Our experts have created a small capsule with optimum levels of vitamin D, specially formulated for anyone over the age of 50. This vegan formulation uses a plant−based form of vitamin D3 produced from photosynthesising algae which is chemically identical to animal−origin D3, meaning it provides the same great benefits to your health, immunity and wellbeing. Who is this for? It's ideal for the over−50s, or those at increased risk of low levels, who want high levels of vitamin D3 in small, easily−absorb capsules to support bones, teeth, muscles and immune health. Our capsules are also produced from photosynthesising algae, making them ideal for anyone following a vegan or plant−based diet.
