FAQ

What Are the Benefits of Vitamin D Supplements?
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in overall health and wellness. Vitamin D supplements are commonly used to support bone health, immune function, muscle function, and healthy aging. Vitamin D also helps the body absorb calcium, making it an important nutrient for maintaining strong bones and overall wellness throughout life.
What Is the Difference Between Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) are two forms of vitamin D used in supplements. Both help support healthy vitamin D levels, but vitamin D3 is the form naturally produced by the body when skin is exposed to sunlight. For this reason, vitamin D3 is the most commonly used form in dietary supplements and is often preferred by consumers looking to support optimal vitamin D status.
When Is the Best Time to Take Vitamin D?
Vitamin D can be taken at any time of day, but many people choose to take it with a meal because it is a fat-soluble vitamin. Taking vitamin D with food that contains some dietary fat may help support absorption. The best time to take vitamin D is the time that fits consistently into your daily routine and allows you to take it as directed.
How Much Vitamin D Should I Take Daily?
In 2016, the Food and Nutrition Board increased the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin D for most adults from 10 mcg (400 IU) to 15 mcg (600 IU) per day, and 20 mcg (800 IU) for ages 70+. Some doctors and nutritionists recommend higher daily vitamin D intakes, especially for those at risk for having low levels. The Vitamin D Council, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about vitamin D, recommends average adults supplement with 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D daily. Talk with your doctor about your individual needs.
Who Should Take Vitamin D Supplements?
Vitamin D supplements may be beneficial for individuals who do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight exposure, diet, or other sources. People who spend limited time outdoors, live in northern climates, follow certain dietary patterns, or are looking to support bone health, immune function, and overall wellness often choose to supplement with vitamin D. Because individual needs can vary, it's a good idea to consult your healthcare provider if you have questions about whether vitamin D supplementation is right for you.
