Lamberts Vitamin D3 1000iu Gummies are a vegetarian food supplement that provides 1000iu (25µg) of vitamin D3 per gummy, in a natural apple flavour. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function. The gummies are chewable and contain no added sugars or sweeteners, which may suit people who find tablets or capsules hard to swallow.

Key Features

• 1000iu (25µg) vitamin D3 per gummy: The vitamin D is in the D3 form (cholecalciferol) and each gummy provides 500% of the NRV (Nutrient Reference Value).
• Chewable apple-flavoured gummy: Lamberts describes gummies as suited to people who struggle with tablets or capsules. The flavouring is natural and the colour comes from copper complexes of chlorophyllins.
• No added sugars or sweeteners: The gummies are sweetened with FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides), a soluble fibre from chicory root.
• Suitable for vegetarians: The label carries a suitable for vegetarians mark.
• Supports normal body functions: Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function.

Who should consider taking a vitamin D supplement?

The NHS advises that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10µg of vitamin D during autumn and winter, when the sun is not strong enough for the body to make it. People at higher risk of not getting enough, such as those who are not often outdoors or who have dark skin, should consider taking it all year round.

How does the vitamin D in each gummy compare with NHS advice?

Each gummy contains 25µg (1000iu) of vitamin D. The NHS says 10µg a day is enough for most people who choose to take a supplement, and sets 100µg (4,000iu) a day as the most that adults and children aged 11 to 17 should take. If a doctor has recommended a different amount, follow their advice.
