Vital Vitamin D3 1000IU Caps 30

Vital Vitamin D3 provides 1000IU of cholecalciferol per capsule, the daily maintenance dose most often recommended for adults. It is a small, easy-to-swallow capsule from a trusted South African brand, and a month's supply makes it simple to trial through winter. Vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin. It switches on calcium absorption, supports bone mineralisation and helps immune cells respond properly to infection.

You can live in one of the sunniest countries in the world and still be low in vitamin D if you spend your days indoors. Despite the sunshine, low vitamin D is common in South Africa among people who work indoors, cover up, have darker skin or are older. Frequent infections, aching bones and tiredness are typical of low levels.
