D₃ 1000 Vegan provides 1,000 IU of vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol) per capsule. Numerous studies have concluded that vitamin D₃ is more effective than vitamin D₂ at improving vitamin D status.^1,2 Where most plant sources provide vitamin D₂, D₃ 1000 Vegan provides the preferred form of vitamin D (D₃) produced from a sustainable, non-GMO algal source. The vitamin D receptor is present in nearly all human cells, demonstrating the important role of vitamin D in supporting good health.³ While it is best recognized for its ability to promote peak bone mass and maintain bone health in the elderly, vitamin D also contributes to healthy immune system function.⁴ Despite its importance to many physiological functions, many Canadians have inadequate levels of vitamin D.⁵ This may result from insufficient sun exposure, wearing covering clothes, limited consumption of vitamin D-containing foods, dark skin colour, older age, and low intake of vitamin D supplements.⁶ With just one convenient capsule daily, this formula helps prevent vitamin D deficiency and supports optimal bone and immune health.
