Description
BetterYou D4000 Vitamin D Oral Spray is a 15ml peppermint-flavoured vitamin D3 supplement, providing a 3-month supply at one spray a day. Because it's sprayed into the mouth rather than swallowed as a tablet, it offers an alternative for people who prefer not to take capsules or tablets.
Key Features
- Oral spray format: Vitamin D3 is delivered as a spray absorbed in the mouth rather than a tablet or capsule, offering an alternative for people who struggle to swallow pills.
- Matches the NHS daily upper limit: Each spray provides 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D3, the most the NHS advises adults and children aged 13 and over take in a day.
- Suitable for vegetarians: The vitamin D3 is sourced from lanolin (sheep's wool grease) rather than an animal source involving slaughter, making it suitable for vegetarians, though not vegans.
- Free from common allergens: The formula is free from sugar, dairy, gluten, wheat and soya.
Can I take this alongside other vitamin D supplements?
This spray already provides 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D3, which is the most the NHS advises adults take in a day. Taking additional vitamin D from another supplement on top of this could take you over the safe daily amount, so check with a doctor before combining it with another vitamin D product.
Is this suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
BetterYou states this spray is suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. NHS guidance on the 100 microgram daily upper limit also applies to pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Is this spray vegan?
No. The vitamin D3 in this spray comes from lanolin, an animal source, so it's suitable for vegetarians but not vegans. BetterYou sells a separate vegan vitamin D spray.
How long does one bottle last?
At one spray a day, the 15ml bottle provides around a 3-month supply.
Ingredients
Active ingredient: Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). One spray provides 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D3, equivalent to 2000% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV).
Other ingredients: Water, xylitol, acacia gum, sunflower lecithin, citric acid, potassium sorbate, natural peppermint oil flavouring.
Additional information: The vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin (sheep's wool grease), making the spray suitable for vegetarians but not vegans. Free from sugar, dairy, gluten, wheat and soya.
Usage and Instructions
- Before first use, press the pump 3 times until the spray flows evenly.
- Shake well before every use.
- Spray once into the mouth each day, ideally onto the inside of the cheek, and hold for a few seconds.
- Can be taken at any time of day, with or without food.
Warnings
This spray provides the maximum amount of vitamin D recommended for daily use, so a few precautions apply:
- Do not take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day in total. Check whether any other supplements you take already contain vitamin D before adding this spray.
- Suitable for adults and children aged 13 and over. The NHS sets lower daily upper limits for younger children: 50 micrograms (2,000 IU) for ages 1 to 10, and 25 micrograms (1,000 IU) for infants under 12 months.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- This is a food supplement and should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
