{"title":"Vitamin D3","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBuy Vitamin D3: Softgels, Tablets and Drops\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that the body produces itself in the skin under the influence of sunlight. It is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a role in important processes. Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones, the maintenance of normal muscle function, and the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Production through the skin depends heavily on sunlight and is limited during the winter months in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our range, you will find vitamin D3 in various forms and dosages, from softgels and tablets to drops based on MCT oil. There are products containing only vitamin D3 as well as combinations with vitamin K2. Whether you are looking for a low dose for daily use or a higher-dose sustained-release product, there is a suitable choice for every preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is vitamin D3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D exists in two main forms: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) from plant-based sources and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which the body produces itself and is also found in animal-based sources. Vitamin D3 is the most commonly used form in supplements. It is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it is absorbed along with fats. That is why supplements are often offered in an oil or softgel form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does vitamin D contribute to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious health claims are permitted for vitamin D. Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones, and the maintenance of normal teeth. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D also plays a role in the cell division process. The label of each product states how much vitamin D is provided per serving, usually expressed in international units (IU) or micrograms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin D3 with or without K2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany vitamin D3 supplements are combined with vitamin K2. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. In our range, you will find both standalone vitamin D3 products and combinations of D3 and K2, so you can choose based on your personal preference. On the label of the combination products, it states how much of both vitamins is provided per serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoftgels, tablets or drops?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 is available in various dosage forms. Softgels contain the vitamin dissolved in an oil, which aligns with the fat-soluble nature of vitamin D. Tablets are compact and often affordable, and sustained-release tablets contain a higher dosage for use at intervals. Drops based on MCT oil can be dosed flexibly and are suitable for those who do not want to swallow capsules or tablets. The choice depends on your personal preference and desired dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much vitamin D3 per day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended amount of vitamin D varies per person and situation. The Health Council advises certain groups, such as the elderly, young children, and people with dark skin or little exposure to sunlight, to use extra vitamin D. Dosages are expressed in international units (IU) or micrograms, where 1000 IU corresponds to 25 micrograms. Follow the directions for use on the packaging of the specific product and consult a doctor if in doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does vitamin D naturally occur in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important source of vitamin D is production in the skin under the influence of sunlight. In addition, vitamin D is found in a limited number of foods, such as fatty fish, eggs, and products fortified with vitamin D, such as halvarine. Because the amount of vitamin D from food is usually limited and production through the skin decreases in winter, a supplement can be a practical addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should you look for when buying vitamin D3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing a vitamin D3 supplement, several points are important. Pay attention to the dosage per serving, expressed in IU or micrograms. Determine whether you are looking for vitamin D3 alone or a combination with vitamin K2. Choose a dosage form that suits you, such as softgels, tablets, or drops. Finally, check whether the product is suitable for your diet and follow the recommended daily amount on the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWould you like to know more about vitamin D3 itself first?

Both are fat-soluble, which means your body absorbs and stores them together with fat from your diet, unlike water-soluble vitamins, which the body quickly excretes. Parents often wonder whether a child produces enough vitamin D in winter. In the Netherlands, the sun is too low from October to April to produce sufficient vitamin D in the skin, even on a clear winter day. Vitamin D is necessary for the normal growth and development of children's skeletal system and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, and to normal calcium levels in the blood. The same applies to the teeth: vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth. Vitamin K2 complements this by contributing to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. Thus, both vitamins are in one drop per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eD3 from lanolin, K2 as K2VITAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin D3 in this product is cholecalciferol, extracted from lanolin (sheep's wool fat). This is the form that most closely resembles the vitamin D your body produces itself under the influence of sunlight, and therefore the most commonly used form in supplements. The vitamin K2 is menaquinone-7 in the all-trans form, derived from the branded raw material K2VITAL. The difference with a regular K2 raw material lies in the purity: K2VITAL has a controlled all-trans content of over 99 percent, while cheaper variants often contain a mix of cis and trans forms that is less stable and provides a less consistent dose. Both vitamins are dissolved in MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) from coconut. This was deliberately chosen: fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in oil, and MCT oil has no pronounced taste or smell. Convenient if you have to give a child a drop daily without any fuss about the taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many drops, and how to give them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne drop per day is the recommended amount for children aged 4 and over. You give it with the dropper that comes with the bottle, undiluted or incorporated into a drink or with a meal. Because the drops have almost no taste, most children do not notice that something has been added to their food or drink. What parents also often want to know: can a child get too much vitamin D3 through such a drop? At the recommended dosage of one drop per day, that is not the case, but it is the reason why you stick to that dosage and keep the bottle out of reach of young children, just like with any other supplement. A 10 ml bottle with approximately 300 drops lasts about ten months with daily use, well over the dark months until deep into spring. This means that you do not have to order a new bottle halfway through the winter season, and that you can easily pass it on when it is almost empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 K2 Kids is a targeted choice for families who notice in winter that their child goes outside little, without all kinds of extra additives or flavorings in the bottle.

In autumn and winter, the sun is too low in the Netherlands for this production to occur, which means many people get less of it during those months. Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is the form that the human body produces on its own and that is also found in animal-based foods; the plant-based variant is called vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). D3 is the most commonly used form in supplements. On labels, vitamin D is expressed in micrograms (µg) or international units (IU), where 1 microgram is equivalent to 40 IU. The 25 µg in this softgel therefore corresponds to 1000 IU, a widely chosen daily amount. Fatty fish, eggs, and fortified products provide some vitamin D, but the majority normally comes from sunlight.

An oil base has the advantage that the fat-soluble vitamin is already dissolved in fat, which aligns with how the body absorbs vitamin D from food.

Vitamin K2 is a lesser-known vitamin that is found in food. This formula provides vitamin D3 and K2 in a fixed ratio, so you do not need to combine two separate products. Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because your skin produces it itself under the influence of sunlight; this is precisely what is harder to do during the darker months. This explains why many people supplement vitamin D year-round and why a combined D3-K2 formula is popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D3 and K2 contribute to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, the normal function of the immune system, and the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. Both vitamins are therefore involved, among other things, in the maintenance of normal bones. This is how the two vitamins complement each other in this product. You can find the full list of permitted health claims for both vitamins further down on this page, along with the safety information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin K2 as MK-7 from MenaQ7®\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin K2 in this product is menaquinone-7, or MK-7 for short, derived from the branded raw material MenaQ7®. MK-7 is one of the forms of vitamin K2 that is widely used in supplements. MenaQ7® is one of the best-known branded raw materials for this form of K2. Each capsule contains 180 µg of K2, in addition to 125 µg of vitamin D3. This makes it a combination of vitamin D3 and K2 in a single plant-based hypromellose capsule. The ratio of a high dose of D3 to a generous amount of K2 has been deliberately chosen so that the two fat-soluble vitamins are taken together in a single dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e60 plant-based capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne bottle contains 60 Vcaps.

The ingredients list is straightforward: the two vitamins, a plant-based hypromellose capsule shell, and a few functional excipients such as rice flour and silicon dioxide, with no unnecessary fillers. Due to the high dosage per capsule (1 capsule every 5 days) and the presence of vitamin K, the safety information on this page is important; please read it carefully, especially if you use anticoagulant medication. Because both vitamins are included in a fixed amount in one capsule, you do not need to purchase or combine them separately.

There are different forms of menaquinone, with MK-4 and MK-7 being the best known. MK-7 stays in the blood longer than MK-4. Within MK-7, there is also a difference: the substance occurs in a cis and an all-trans form. K2VITAL is a branded raw material from the Norwegian Kappa Bioscience with a guaranteed all-trans content of more than 99 percent. Every batch is analyzed separately via HPLC before it leaves the factory, and the corresponding certificate of analysis is publicly available for anyone who wants to check it. That distinguishes K2VITAL from many generic K2 raw materials on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne tablet every five days, not a daily ritual\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 and K2 are both fat-soluble. This means that your body can store them, unlike water-soluble vitamins that your body largely excretes through urine. Vit4ever takes advantage of this by setting a high dosage and extending the interval: one tablet every five days provides an average daily dose of 1000 IU of D3 and 20 mcg of K2. That is a common amount for most healthy adults, well below the safe upper limit of 4000 IU per day for long-term use. In practice, this means a bottle that you hardly need to refill: 365 tablets last for 1825 days, or over four years. Take the tablet during a meal with some fat, olive oil, or nuts, for example, as the recommended use indicates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this combination interesting for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combination tablet is primarily intended for those who consciously want to choose both without having to manage two bottles and remember two intake routines. The tablets are small, the D3 is of plant origin, extracted from lichen instead of the common lanolin from sheep's wool, and there is no magnesium stearate in it. This also makes this product suitable for those who prefer vegan supplements and pay attention to the list of excipients on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: anyone specifically looking for vitamin D3 and K2 in a single tablet will find that this is no ordinary D3 tablet.

Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is the form that the human body produces itself and that is also found in animal-based foods; the plant-based variant is called vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). D3 is the most commonly used form in supplements. On the label, you will see vitamin D in micrograms (µg) and international units (IU), where 1 microgram corresponds to 40 IU. The 25 µg per drop is therefore equivalent to 1000 IU, a widely chosen daily amount. Vitamin D is found in fatty fish, eggs, and fortified products, among others.

The answer lies in calcium. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption\/normal use of calcium and phosphorus. It therefore ensures that calcium from your diet enters your blood, and vitamin D contributes to normal calcium levels in the blood. Vitamin K2 works further on in that process. It activates certain proteins (such as osteocalcin, a protein in your bone tissue) that can bind calcium. Both substances thus play their own role in your bones: vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, and vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. In short: one vitamin is about absorption, the other about the follow-up. That is why many manufacturers choose to combine vitamin D3 and K2 in one product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e50mcg D3 and 100mcg MK-7, what do those numbers mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is expressed in two ways: in micrograms (mcg) or in international units (IU). 50mcg is the same as 2000 IU. On the label you see 1000% of the reference intake. That reference intake of 5mcg is the EU reference value for labeling. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets a safe upper limit of 100mcg per day from all sources combined for adults. With one softgel you stay well below that. In the Netherlands you get little vitamin D from the sun from October to March, and those who stay indoors a lot or have dark skin also make less of it themselves. A strength of 2000 IU is one of the best-selling dosages in Dutch webshops. The 100mcg vitamin K2 is equal to 133% of the reference intake. Vitamin K also contributes to normal blood clotting, and that is exactly why people who use blood thinners need to pay extra attention (more about that in the safety information).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCholecalciferol and MK-7 from natto in olive oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOstroVit uses cholecalciferol, which is vitamin D3. It is the same form that your skin produces itself under the influence of sunlight. There is also vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol, from plants and mushrooms), but D3 is the form that is in most supplements. For vitamin K2 OstroVit chooses menaquinone-7, simply MK-7. This is obtained using Bacillus subtilis natto, the bacteria that is also in natto (fermented soybeans from Japan). The difference with the shorter form MK-4? MK-7 stays in your blood for much longer, so one dose per day is sufficient. What many people do not know: vitamin D and K are fat-soluble. Your body absorbs them better in combination with fat. The softgel is therefore filled with olive oil. The coating consists of gelatin with glycerol, so that the softgel remains flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vitamin D does in addition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to calcium and bones, vitamin D has a broader range of tasks. Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. Your muscles are also involved: vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles. Furthermore, vitamin D plays a role in the cell division process, and vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth. For people from 60 years and older, there is another specific point. Vitamin D helps reduce the risk of falling due to postural instability and muscle weakness. Falling is a risk factor for bone fractures in men and women aged 60 and older. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 20 mcg of vitamin D from all sources. Still, it is smart not to dose blindly. OstroVit itself recommends having a blood test done for 25(OH)D (the value with which your vitamin D status is measured) and consulting your doctor or pharmacist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this vitamin D3 and K2 from OstroVit you have two fat-soluble vitamins in one softgel, in an olive oil base that matches how your body absorbs them.

This softgel from NOW Foods contains 1000 IU of \u003cstrong\u003evitamin D3\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is 25 micrograms, dissolved in extra virgin olive oil. One small, easy-to-swallow softgel per day. With 180 pieces in the bottle, you have a half-year supply, just enough for the dark season from October through March.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy vitamin D gets extra attention in the Netherlands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour skin produces vitamin D under the influence of UVB radiation from sunlight. The problem? Between October and March, that radiation in the Netherlands is too weak to rely on. Food also provides little: fatty fish, eggs, and margarine fortified with vitamin D are actually the only noteworthy sources. That is why the Health Council advises certain groups, such as people with dark skin, people who spend little time outdoors, and those aged 70 and over, to take vitamin D supplements. Many people wonder how much vitamin D they actually need. The basic advice for adults is between 10 and 20 micrograms per day, depending on age and circumstances. This softgel sits just above that with 25 micrograms, and remains well below the European safe upper limit of 100 micrograms per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vitamin D3 does in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form that your skin also produces itself. After ingestion, your liver converts it into a storage form, and your kidneys then convert it into the active form. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and normal use of calcium and phosphorus. Those two minerals are the building blocks of your skeleton, and therefore vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal teeth. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the normal function of the muscles. In short: a vitamin that plays a role in many places in your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the olive oil in the softgel matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is fat-soluble. That means your body absorbs it better when there is fat around. NOW Foods therefore dissolves the vitamin D3 in extra virgin olive oil and packages it in a soft gelatin capsule. This way, the fat source is already in the softgel itself. Still, preferably take it with a meal, because then your digestion is already actively processing fats. The vitamin D3 in this product is obtained from lanolin, the fat from sheep's wool. That is the common source of D3. Good to know: the softgel contains beef gelatin and is therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother practical point: because your body stores vitamin D in fat tissue and the liver, you do not need to panic if you forget one day. Just take 1 softgel again the next day and no double dose. With vitamin D3, it is about intake over weeks and months, not one day. Anyone who puts the bottle in a fixed place, next to the breakfast items for example, will notice that a fixed routine develops naturally. NOW Foods makes these softgels in a GMP-certified facility, an international quality standard for production and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daily softgel of 25 micrograms is a clear, moderate dose for many adults. The size of 180 pieces fits nicely with the months in which the sun lets you down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816727138642,"sku":"Now-124","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vitamine-d3-1000-ie-now-foods.jpg?v=1790167032"},{"product_id":"vitamine-d3-2000-ie-now-foods","title":"Vitamin D3 2000 IU | 120 Softgels | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVitamin D3 2000 IU by NOW Foods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis softgel from NOW Foods contains 2000 IU of \u003cstrong\u003evitamin D3\u003c\/strong\u003e, or 50 micrograms, dissolved in extra virgin olive oil. That is a higher strength than most daily vitamin D products in the drugstore. If in doubt about the right dosage, consult your doctor. With 120 softgels, you have a four-month supply at 1 softgel per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e50 micrograms, how does that compare to the advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic advice of the Health Council for adults is between 10 and 20 micrograms per day. This softgel provides 50 micrograms, so clearly more. At the same time, that remains half of the safe upper limit of 100 micrograms per day that the European Food Safety Authority EFSA uses for adults. In practice, that means: a higher dose, but within what is considered safe for daily use by adults. It is wise, however, with this strength to add up what else you are getting, for example through a multivitamin or fortified products. If you are unsure about what suits you, consult your doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow your body processes vitamin D3\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin. After intake, your body stores it in fat tissue and the liver, and converts it step by step into the active form. That active form works as a kind of signaling substance that tells cells how much calcium needs to be absorbed. Vitamin D contributes to normal calcium levels in the blood. Vitamin D also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and plays a role in the cell division process. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. For the elderly, there is a specific claim: vitamin D helps to reduce the risks of falling, in connection with postural instability and muscle weakness. Falling is a risk factor for bone fractures in men and women from 60 years onwards. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 20 µg of vitamin D from all sources. This claim applies to men and women from 60 years onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOlive oil and safflower oil as a carrier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause vitamin D dissolves in fat, it is dissolved in this softgel in extra virgin olive oil, supplemented with a little safflower oil. Those oils ensure that the vitamin is evenly distributed and that there is always a fat source included. Still, preferably take the softgel with a meal. The vitamin D3 itself is obtained from lanolin, the fat from sheep's wool, and the softgel shell is made of beef gelatin. Therefore, this product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. By the way, because your body stores vitamin D, it doesn't matter if you skip a day once. Then just take 1 softgel again the next day, and no double dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood to know: vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and to the maintenance of normal teeth. NOW Foods produces in a GMP-certified facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who consciously choose a higher daily dose of vitamin D3, this is a simple solution: one small softgel, without fillers, with a four-month supply in a jar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816731496786,"sku":"Now-125","price":8.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vitamine-d3-2000-ie-now-foods.jpg?v=1790167032"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/vitamine-d3.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
