Viridian Vitamin D3 1000iu

Viridian Vitamin D3 1000iu is a mid-potency vitamin D supplement providing 1000iu (25 micrograms) of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) per capsule, sourced from lichen to provide a certified vegan form of this essential sunshine vitamin. This popular dose is widely recommended by health professionals as an effective daily supplementation level for maintaining adequate vitamin D status throughout the year, particularly during the autumn and winter months when sunlight exposure is insufficient to maintain blood vitamin D levels.

Vitamin D3 is produced naturally in the skin upon exposure to UVB sunlight but, in northern latitudes, the sunlight between October and March is insufficient in UVB wavelength to stimulate meaningful vitamin D production. This means that for much of the population in the UK and similar climates, dietary intake or supplementation is essential for maintaining adequate vitamin D levels during this period. Population surveys consistently show that a significant proportion of people are deficient or insufficient in vitamin D, making supplementation a priority for many.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function, and the maintenance of normal teeth. It also contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, normal blood calcium levels, normal cell division, and the maintenance of normal teeth. There is also growing evidence for the role of vitamin D in mood regulation, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and cancer prevention, though further research continues in these areas.

The lichen-derived vitamin D3 in this product ensures vegan suitability without compromising efficacy. Contains 100% active ingredients, no artificial fillers, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to Viridian's strict ethical standards.
