Vitamin D3 5000 IU by Swanson
This vitamin D3 from Swanson provides 125 mcg (5000 IU) per softgel, in the form of cholecalciferol, the same form your skin produces naturally under the influence of sunlight. With 250 softgels per bottle, it will last you a long time.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the normal function of the muscles. Vitamin D also plays a role in the process of cell division.
Cholecalciferol (D3)
There are two main forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). D3 is the form that your body also produces naturally and that occurs naturally in animal sources; it is usually obtained from lanolin (wool fat) or fish liver. These softgels contain D3 in an oil. It is preferable to take the softgel during a meal that contains some fat.
5000 IU per softgel
5000 IU corresponds to 125 mcg of vitamin D3 per softgel. Take 1 softgel every 5 days, no more frequently, due to the amount per softgel. If you already use other supplements that contain vitamin D, please count those as well. If you are unsure whether this product is right for you, consult your doctor first.
Practical to use
The softgels are small and easy to swallow, and contain no gluten or artificial colors. A bottle of 250 softgels at 1 softgel every 5 days will last for over three years. The softgel itself is made from gelatin; this product is therefore not suitable for vegans.
In short: vitamin D3 from cholecalciferol, in a small softgel. We state the functions that are officially permitted and keep the rest factual.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between D2 and D3?
D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form your body produces under the influence of sunlight and is found in animal sources. D2 (ergocalciferol) comes from plant sources. This product uses D3.
When is the best time to take vitamin D3?
Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so it is best to take the softgel with a meal that contains some fat. A reminder in your calendar helps you remember to wait 5 days between two softgels.
Isn't 5000 IU a lot?
5000 IU (125 mcg) is a high dose. Stick to 1 softgel every 5 days, no more often, and do not take more than indicated. If you are already taking other supplements containing vitamin D, include those in your calculation and consult your doctor if in doubt.
Is this product vegan?
No. The softgel is gelatin-based, and vitamin D3 is typically sourced from animals (such as lanolin). Vegans should look for a plant-based D3 alternative.
How long does one bottle last?
One bottle contains 250 softgels. At one softgel every 5 days, that is 1,250 days, or approximately a 3.4-year supply.
