Who is Pro D3 10,000IU Weekly Dose for?
The manufacturer gives directions for adults only. The NHS advises that most people need 10 micrograms (400 IU) of vitamin D a day, and that adults should consider a daily supplement in autumn and winter. Throughout the year, this applies to people who are not often outdoors, who cover most of their skin outdoors, or who have dark skin.
How does the weekly dose differ from a daily vitamin D supplement?
This supplement is taken once a week as 1 capsule of 10,000 IU, while many vitamin D supplements are taken daily. The manufacturer's directions are 1 capsule weekly or as advised by a healthcare professional.
Can I take too much vitamin D?
Yes. The NHS warns that taking too many vitamin D supplements over a long period can cause too much calcium to build up in the body (hypercalcaemia), which can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and the heart. Do not exceed the recommended intake, and check with a healthcare professional if you are unsure how much to take.
