Description
Solgar Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 1000 IU (25 µg) 180 Tablets is a food supplement that provides vitamin D in its D3 (cholecalciferol) form, the type the body produces naturally from sunlight, in a tablet taken once a day. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps maintain normal bones, teeth and muscle function by supporting the normal absorption of calcium. Because each tablet provides a full day's dose, one pack of 180 tablets covers roughly six months of daily use.
Key Features
- High-strength 25 µg dose: Each tablet provides 25 µg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3, more than double the UK Department of Health and Social Care's general recommended intake of 10 µg a day for adults, while remaining well within the safe upper limit of 100 µg a day.
- Six-month supply: At the recommended one tablet a day, 180 tablets last around six months, reducing how often the pack needs replacing.
- Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) form: Provides vitamin D as D3, the same form the body makes from sunlight on skin.
- Supports bones, teeth, muscles and immunity: Contributes to the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function and the normal function of the immune system.
How much vitamin D should I take a day?
The Department of Health and Social Care recommends 10 µg of vitamin D a day for most adults, including during autumn and winter when sunlight exposure is lower. This tablet provides 25 µg (1000 IU), a higher-strength dose that remains well within the safe upper limit of 100 µg (4000 IU) a day set for adults. Take one tablet daily as directed, and do not exceed the stated dose.
Do I need to take vitamin D all year round, or just in winter?
Everyone in the UK is advised to consider a daily vitamin D supplement during autumn and winter, when sunlight is too weak for the body to produce enough on its own. People who get little or no sun exposure, for example if they're mostly indoors, are advised to take a daily supplement all year round.
How long will a 180-tablet pack last?
At the recommended dose of one tablet a day, a pack of 180 tablets provides around six months' supply.

Warnings
The following precautions apply:
- Do not exceed the stated dose of one tablet a day.
- If pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or under medical supervision for a condition affecting calcium levels, such as kidney disease, sarcoidosis or hyperparathyroidism, seek medical advice before taking this supplement.
- Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Side Effects
Vitamin D food supplements are not generally associated with side effects when taken at the recommended dose. Taking too much vitamin D over time can lead to excess calcium in the blood (hypercalcaemia), which may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, weakness, thirst and, in more serious cases, kidney problems. Stop taking the supplement and seek medical advice if you experience any of these symptoms.
