What is Vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that your skin produces when exposed to sunlight. It’s also found in certain foods, such as fatty fish and egg yolks.

µg or IU: How do you interpret the dosage?

Vitamin D is measured in micrograms (µg) or international units (IU): 1 µg = 40 IU. One capsule therefore provides 75 µg = 3,000 IU, or 1,500% of the Reference Nutrient Intakes (set at 5 µg per day).

Vitamin D helps:

• maintaining normal bone health;
• to maintaining normal muscle function;
• to the normal functioning of the immune system;
