The dropper allows you to dose easily and accurately. One bottle contains 30 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vitamin D3 is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because your skin largely produces it on its own under the influence of UV light from the sun. In autumn and winter, the skin in the Netherlands produces less vitamin D. 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 Health Council advises certain groups to take extra vitamin D; check voedingscentrum.nl to see if this advice applies to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vitamin D contributes to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, and normal muscle function. Vitamin D also contributes to normal calcium levels in the blood and to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, and plays a role in the cell division process.

MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, a light, neutral plant-based oil. This provides an oil base without added flavors or colorings and with a short ingredient list of only two components. Unlike softgels with gelatin, this liquid form contains no animal-based capsule, making the bottle vegetarian. MCT oil is also a light oil that absorbs quickly and leaves no pronounced taste, keeping the intake of the drop neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 30 ml bottle with a dropper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle contains 30 ml of liquid vitamin D3 and comes with a dropper that allows you to dose finely. These vitamin D3 drops are well suited for those who find capsules or tablets difficult, or who prefer to adjust the amount themselves. Also for at home where multiple people use vitamin D, one bottle with a dropper is often more practical than separate capsule jars. The liquid form has the advantage that you can easily vary the amount and that no capsule needs to dissolve. In short: a liquid, vegetarian vitamin D3 from a brand known for clear labels and controlled production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50713211994450,"sku":"Now-032","price":12.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/VitamineD3VloeibaarExtraSterkNOW.jpg?v=1772465714","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/vitamine-d3-druppels-1000-i-e-30-ml-now-foods","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
