Description:

NOW Foods High Potency Vitamin D-3 10,000 iu is a dietary supplement designed to support overall health and wellness by providing a concentrated dose of vitamin d3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin d3 plays a vital role in maintaining healthy bones and teeth, supporting immune system function, and contributing to normal muscle function. This high-strength formula in easy-to-swallow softgels is ideal for adults with increased vitamin d needs, such as those with limited sun exposure, higher deficiency risk, or under medical supervision for vitamin d supplementation. It is a supplement, not a medication, and should be used as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Indications:

• Supports the prevention and management of vitamin d deficiency or insufficiency, as diagnosed by a healthcare professional.
• Helps maintain normal calcium and phosphorus metabolism, which is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
• Supports immune system function and may help enhance the body’s natural defenses.
• Assists in maintaining normal muscle function and physical performance.
• May be recommended for adults with limited sun exposure, darker skin, older age, or those who cover most of their skin outdoors.
• May be used under medical supervision in individuals with increased vitamin d requirements, such as certain malabsorption conditions (as advised by a doctor).
