VITATEKA Vitamin D3 4000 IU with olive oil is a food supplement in capsule form. Vitamin D is often called the «sunshine vitamin»: at northern latitudes, especially in the autumn-winter period, sunlight is scarce, so many people think about an additional source of vitamin D. One capsule contains 100 µg (4000 IU) of vitamin D3 dissolved in cold-pressed olive oil.

In this article we look at the composition, what vitamin D is good for, how to take the supplement, and what to keep in mind.

Composition: D3 in olive oil

The formula is thoughtful and concise. The base is cold-pressed olive oil (extra virgin) in which vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is dissolved at 100 µg (4000 IU) per capsule. The capsule shell is bovine gelatin, the humectant is glycerol and water, and the antioxidant is a tocopherol extract. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so an oil base is a natural and convenient «carrier» for it.

What vitamin D is good for

Vitamin D has officially recognised functions in the body. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, helps maintain normal bones, teeth and muscles, and contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus in the body. This is exactly why vitamin D is traditionally associated with support for immunity and the musculoskeletal system.

Why the 4000 IU format and capsules

A 4000 IU dose is designed for one capsule a day — which is convenient: no need to measure drops or split tablets. An oil capsule is easy to take and suits those who prefer vitamin D in its fat-soluble form. If other formats suit you better, we also stock vitamin D3 drops with black cumin oil and vitamin D3 as a spray.

How to take

The recommended daily amount is 1 capsule a day, preferably with a meal containing a little fat (so the fat-soluble vitamin is absorbed naturally). Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Precautions

  • do not use in case of individual intolerance to the ingredients;
  • do not exceed the recommended daily dose;
  • during pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult a doctor;
  • it is not a medicine and does not replace a complete and balanced diet;
  • store in a dry place, protected from light, at a temperature up to +25 °C and out of the reach of children.

Who it suits

  • Those who care about immunity — especially in the autumn-winter season when sunlight is scarce;
  • Those supporting bones, teeth and muscles — vitamin D is involved in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus;
  • Those who value convenience — 1 capsule a day, and a 90-capsule pack lasts a long time.
