D₃ 2500 provides 2,500 IU (62.5 mcg) of vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol) per capsule for increased bioavailability. The vitamin D receptor is present in nearly all human cells, demonstrating the important role of vitamin D in supporting good health.¹ Despite its importance to many physiological functions, many Canadians have inadequate levels of vitamin D.² This may result from insufficient sun exposure, wearing covering clothes, limited consumption of vitamin D-containing foods, dark skin colour, older age, or low intake of vitamin D supplements.³ With just one capsule daily, this formula helps prevent vitamin D deficiency and may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis when combined with sufficient calcium, a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Medicinal Ingredients (per capsule):
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) | 62.5 mcg (2500 IU)
