The Solgar Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 4000 IU is a dietary supplement in vegicaps, with 100μg Cholecalciferol per capsule, i.e. 4000 IU, a quantity corresponding to 2000% of the Nutritional Reference Values. The package contains 60 vegicaps.
It is aimed at adults who have already checked their levels and want a higher daily amount than the basic maintenance dose, in people with minimal sun exposure, and vegetarians who avoid gelatin capsules.
The vitamin D you get, either from the sun or from a supplement, does not act as it is. In the liver it is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the form that is measured in the blood test and shows the body's stores. From there, in the kidneys, it is converted to the active hormonal form that regulates calcium transport. Because vitamin D is stored in adipose tissue, levels change slowly and the picture changes over weeks, not days.
The 4000 IU dose corresponds to the maximum tolerable daily intake set by the European Food Safety Authority for adults. It is a high, but not excessive amount, usually chosen in consultation with a doctor or pharmacist and with knowledge of the test results. It is not combined with other vitamin D or multivitamin preparations without monitoring the total intake. Here liposolubility applies: taking it with a meal containing fat supports absorption.
According to the product presentation by Solgar:
The above statements are attributed to the producer and coincide with approved health claims for vitamin D based on Regulation (EC) 1924/2006.
The formula is in a vegicap made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, without gelatin, and is presented by Solgar as suitable for vegetarians, with Kosher certification and no genetically modified ingredients.
It suits adults who have had a 25-hydroxyvitamin D test and want a higher daily amount than the basic maintenance dose. It suits people who work in closed spaces, cover most of their body or live winters with little sunshine. It is of interest to vegetarians who prefer vegicaps instead of gelatin capsules, as well as those who want one capsule a day without multiple doses.
The product is a dietary supplement, does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment and does not replace a balanced diet. It is not intended for children.
