Key Features

• Matches the standard daily recommendation: Each softgel provides 10 micrograms (400 IU) of vitamin D3, the NHS's standard recommended daily amount for adults and children over 1 year.
• Supports several body functions: Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal bones and teeth, normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and normal muscle function.
• Simple formulation: Contains just safflower oil and a gelatin softgel shell alongside the vitamin D3, with no added sugar, salt or starch.
• Once-daily softgel: One softgel provides the full recommended amount, with no need to split or measure a dose.

How does this differ from Solgar's 1000 IU (25 microgram) vitamin D3 softgels?

This product provides 10 micrograms (400 IU) of vitamin D3 per softgel, matching the NHS's standard recommended daily amount. Solgar also sells a higher-strength 25 microgram (1000 IU) version, intended for people who need more than the standard daily amount, such as those with limited sun exposure.

Is this vitamin D3 softgel suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

No. The softgel shell contains bovine gelatin, and the vitamin D3 is sourced from fish liver oil, so this product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Does this product contain sugar?

No. It is free from sugar, salt and starch.

Who should take a 10 microgram vitamin D3 supplement?

The NHS advises that most adults and children over 1 year need 10 micrograms of vitamin D a day, particularly during autumn and winter when UK sunlight is too weak for the body to make enough vitamin D.
