Description
Lamberts Vitamin D3 4000iu (100µg) 120 Capsules is a high-strength vitamin D food supplement in soft capsule form, providing 100µg (4000iu) of vitamin D3 in each capsule. It is suitable for all adults and for vegetarians, and the manufacturer states that it should only be used under the guidance of a practitioner.
Key Features
- 100µg (4000iu) of vitamin D3 per capsule: This is ten times the 10µg daily amount the NHS suggests considering in autumn and winter, and equal to the NHS upper daily limit of 100 micrograms for adults.
- Used under practitioner guidance: The manufacturer states that this strength requires specialist knowledge and is not recommended for long-term use.
- Suitable for all adults and vegetarians: The manufacturer states it is suitable for all adults and for vegetarians, and not for children below 11 years. The capsule shell is made with modified corn starch, glycerol and carrageenan.
- 120-capsule pack: At the directed dose of 1 capsule a day, one pack lasts 120 days.
Is 4000iu (100µg) of vitamin D too much?
NHS guidance sets the upper daily limit for adults and children aged 11 to 17 at 100 micrograms (4,000 IU), which is the amount in one capsule. Because of this, the manufacturer advises that the product is not recommended for long-term use and should only be used under the guidance of a practitioner.
How is the 4000iu capsule different from Lamberts' lower-strength vitamin D3 capsules?
Lamberts makes vitamin D3 capsules at 1000iu (25µg), 2000iu (50µg) and 4000iu (100µg). The 4000iu capsule is the highest strength, and unlike the lower strengths it carries specific cautions for people with kidney problems, raised calcium levels or a tendency to form kidney stones. It is taken with a meal.
What does vitamin D do?
Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, normal blood calcium levels, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function, and the normal function of the immune system.
