Pro D3 1000IU 30 Capsules are a daily vitamin D3 food supplement, providing 1000 IU (25 µg) of vitamin D3 in each capsule. The pack holds 30 capsules to be taken one a day, and the capsules are suitable for vegetarian, halal and kosher diets.

Key Features

• 1000 IU (25 µg) vitamin D3 per capsule: This is more than the 10 µg (400 IU) of vitamin D a day that the NHS advises adults to get.
• One capsule a day: A pack of 30 capsules covers 30 days at the directed dose for adults.
• Suitable for vegetarian, halal and kosher diets: The capsules are free from gelatine, lactose and peanut.
• Vitamin D3 (colecalciferol): Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function and the normal function of the immune system.
• Calcium absorption: Vitamin D also contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium.

What is the difference between IU and µg on a vitamin D label?

They are two ways of stating the same amount. 1 µg of vitamin D equals 40 IU, so the 1000 IU in each Pro D3 capsule is 25 µg, and the NHS daily amount of 10 µg is 400 IU.

Who is a daily vitamin D supplement for?

The NHS advises that everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 µg of vitamin D during autumn and winter. It advises year-round supplements for people who get little sun exposure or have dark skin. Each Pro D3 1000IU capsule contains 25 µg, so check the amount of vitamin D in any other supplements you take.

How much vitamin D is too much?

The NHS says adults and children aged 11 and over should not take more than 100 µg (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day from all sources. Taking too much 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. Take one capsule a day and do not exceed the recommended intake.
