Vitamin D-3 maintains healthy calcium and phosphorus levels in the body for strong bones; it increases muscle strength in older adults; and it also plays an active role in a healthy immune response. Vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol) is the optimal form of vitamin D. It is the form of vitamin D that the body manufactures in sunlight, and the form most efficient for the body’s needs.
Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you have or suspect a medical condition or are taking prescription drugs. Do not use if you have or suspect liver, kidney, bone, blood vessel, heart or lung disease or a calcium disorder. Not for use by children or women who are pregnant or lactating. Side effects from too much vitamin D may include persisting nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, frequent urination, depression, headache, drowsiness or pain. Doses of 10,000 IU/day of vitamin D or higher should not be used continuously for more than 6 months, particularly during consistent sun exposure, unless recommended by a healthcare provider. Having your blood level of vitamin D measured is the most accurate way to determine the appropriate daily dose to meet your body's needs.
