Puritan'S Pride Vitamin D 5000 100 Capsules

Description:

Puritan'S Pride Vitamin D 5000 is a high-potency vitamin D3 supplement formulated to support overall health and wellness. Each capsule provides 5000 iu of vitamin D (as cholecalciferol), helping to maintain optimal vitamin D levels, especially in individuals with limited sun exposure or increased nutritional needs. Vitamin D3 plays a key role in calcium absorption, bone mineralization, immune system function, and muscle performance. This product is a dietary supplement, not a medication, and is intended for adults seeking to support bone strength, immune defense, and general well-being.

Indications:

• Helps prevent and manage vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency (as diagnosed by a healthcare professional).
• Supports healthy bones and teeth by enhancing calcium and phosphorus absorption.
• Supports immune system function and the body’s natural defenses.
• Supports normal muscle function and strength.
• May assist in maintaining normal blood calcium levels.
• Beneficial for adults with limited sun exposure, darker skin, or low dietary intake of vitamin D.
• May support mood and general well-being in individuals with low vitamin D status.
