Description
Solgar Liquid Vitamin D3 2500IU (62.5µg) is a vitamin D3 food supplement in a natural orange flavoured liquid, supplied as a 59ml bottle. Because it is taken from a dropper rather than swallowed as a capsule or tablet, it suits people who find solid supplements difficult to take.
Key Features
- 62.5µg (2500IU) of vitamin D3: Each 0.5ml dose (half a dropper) provides 62.5µg of vitamin D3, supplied as cholecalciferol.
- Liquid with natural orange flavour: The vitamin D3 is in a sunflower seed oil base with natural orange flavour, so there is nothing to swallow whole.
- Sugar, salt and starch free: The label states that the product is sugar, salt and starch free, and suitable for vegetarians.
- 59ml bottle: At 0.5ml a dose, one bottle holds 118 doses.
What does vitamin D contribute to?
Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function, the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, normal blood calcium levels, and the process of cell division.
How does the 62.5µg dose compare with NHS advice?
The NHS says 10 micrograms a day is enough for most people who choose to take a vitamin D supplement, and that adults should not take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) a day. One 0.5ml dose of this product provides 62.5µg, which is more than the amount most people need. Count any other vitamin D supplements you take towards the 100 microgram daily limit.
Is Liquid Vitamin D3 2500IU suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. Solgar states that this product is suitable for vegetarians, and its ingredients are vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), sunflower seed oil and natural orange flavour.

Warnings
Read these points before use:
- Do not exceed the recommended dose. The NHS advises adults not to take more than 100 micrograms (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day from all sources, as taking too much over a long period can cause too much calcium to build up in the body.
- Do not give to children without advice from a doctor or pharmacist. The NHS advises that children aged 1 to 10 years should not have more than 50 micrograms (2,000 IU) of vitamin D a day, and infants under 12 months not more than 25 micrograms (1,000 IU) a day. One 0.5ml dose of this product provides 62.5µg.
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, speak to a doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
- Food supplements should not be used instead of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
