Who needs it?
- As we age, our bodies become less efficient at producing and activating vitamin D, which is further impacted by factors like smoking, higher BMI, and certain health conditions, including pregnancy. Additionally, food intake, UVB exposure, and skin color can all influence vitamin D levels.
- Vitamin D is fat-soluble, meaning it's absorbed through the gut with dietary fats. Conditions that affect fat absorption, such as Crohn's disease and celiac disease , can reduce vitamin D uptake.
- Genetics also play a role, with up to 30% of some populations carrying genetic variants that affect vitamin D metabolism. These variants can alter the body's response to vitamin D, making it more challenging for some individuals to maintain optimal levels. People with certain genetic variants may require higher vitamin D intake to achieve the same benefits as those without these variants.
- Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels is important for overall well-being, and understanding your unique needs, that are influenced by age, genetics, and health conditions, can help ensure you get the right amount.
- Testing your vitamin D levels is crucial, as it provides clarity on whether your supplementation is appropriate for your specific needs, rather than relying on blind supplementation. It’s also important to know if you have a genetic variant in the VDR gene, which may require an even more individualized daily dose and testing schedule.
- Vitamin D guidelines from leading health organizations suggest that optimal 25(OH)D levels should range from 50 to 75 nmol/L (20-30 ng/mL).* However, there is ongoing debate about the ideal levels due to various factors. Depending on your individual health needs, your functional healthcare professional may recommend maintaining levels closer to or above 80 nmol/L.
- Individuals taking more than 2,000 IU of vitamin D per day should have their vitamin D levels monitored. Due to the seasonal effect of Vitamin D blood levels, you may consider testing once per season to adjust your supplementation.
- Vitamin D3 is often derived from lanolin, a byproduct of the meat industry extracted from sheep’s wool through a multi-step process involving detergents, solvent washes, and ultraviolet light.
- For those seeking a sustainable, ethical, and plant-based alternative, lichen-derived vitamin D3 offers the same biological benefits without animal products. In Ultra Vitamin D3, we pair our vegan D3 with organic Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil sourced from coconut. MCT oil is an ideal carrier for vitamin D3 due to its rapid digestion, absorption, and ability to provide a quick source of energy.
- With a clean, neutral flavor and free from sweeteners, preservatives, binders, and fillers, Ultra Vitamin D3 ensures a pure, effective, and ethical supplement experience, supporting bone health, mood, immune function, and overall well-being.
As a dietary supplement, take 0.25ml daily or as directed by a health care professional.
