5,000 IU in each serving
This increased potency Vitamin D3 delivers 5,000 IU in each serving. Recent research indicates that dosages up to 5,000 IU may provide significant health benefits, and that safe upper limits could be as high as 10,000 IU.
Vitamin D3 offers a broad range of health benefits beyond its obvious role in bone health, as it may positively impact heart and arterial health, immune system function, maintenance of healthy glucose levels, and cognitive performance.
Vitamin D3 is one of the most useful nutritional tools we have at our disposal for improving overall health. This nutrient is unique in that even though it is a vitamin it has hormone-like actions and controls phosphorus, calcium, and bone metabolism and neuromuscular function. Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin the body can manufacture from sunlight. Yet, with today’s indoor living and the use of sunscreens due to concern about skin cancer, we are now a society with millions of individuals deficient in life-sustaining vitamin D3.
The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) is set so low that individuals who consume this small amount are still likely to be deficient. In fact, researchers have discovered that the RDI, which was considered adequate to prevent osteomalacia (a painful bone disease) or rickets, is nowhere near high enough to protect against the majority of diseases linked to vitamin D3 deficiency. For example, an analysis of the medical literature found that at least 1,000 to 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day is necessary to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer and that a low dose of vitamin D3 did not have the same protective effect.
