Pro-D3 1000 IU Tablets (Colecalciferol - Prevention of Deficiency)

Description

Usage

Take one tablet once a day, with or without food, though taking it with a meal containing some fat helps your body absorb it, as vitamin D is fat-soluble. For prevention, this is often taken through autumn and winter, or year-round if you're at higher risk. Don't exceed 4000 IU a day from all sources without medical advice.

Side Effects

Very well tolerated at this dose. Side effects are almost always linked to taking far more than the recommended amount over a long period, which can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, confusion, excessive thirst and frequent urination, this is extremely unlikely at 1000 IU a day.

Ingredients

The active ingredient is colecalciferol (vitamin D3) 1000 IU (25 micrograms).

Warnings

Don't take more than 4000 IU a day of vitamin D from all supplements combined without medical supervision. Use with caution if you have sarcoidosis, an overactive parathyroid gland, or kidney stones, as these can make you more sensitive to vitamin D's effect on calcium. Check with a pharmacist before combining with calcium supplements or certain heart or blood pressure medicines.
