Solgar proudly introduces Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 5000 iu Vegetable Capsules. One capsule provides a high-potency dose of 5000 iu of vitamin D, helping meet the needs of the large number of Americans who are deficient in this key vitamin.
Since the time the current recommended daily intake (RD) for vitamin D – 400 iu – was last reviewed over a decade ago, newer research data have revealed that more than 40 percent of American adults have low blood levels of this fat-soluble vitamin – particularly those who live in northern climates, are dark skinned, regularly wear sun block, or are overweight. As a result of the significant gap between the new data and the current RDI, a growing number of researches have recommended increasing the RDI for vitamin D to 2000 iu.
In addition to its well-defined role in aiding calcium absorption and utilization, new studies show that vitamin D plays a role in immune health and may help support prostate, breast, colon, and pancreatic health. Many of these non-calcemic benefits of vitamin D may only be attinable at higher serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (calcidiol), a vitamin D metabolite which is the chief biomarker for measuring adequate vitamin D status. Reaching desired serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations for some individuals may require vitamin D supplements up to 5000 iu.
