Vitamin D 5,000 I.U. 100t by Douglas Laboratories – Calcium Absorption and Vitamin D3 Support
Vitamin D 5,000 I.U. tablets by Douglas Laboratories provide vitamin D3 in a higher-potency tablet for practitioner-guided supplementation. Each tablet supplies 5,000 IU, making this a targeted option when a healthcare professional determines that a lower-potency product does not meet an adult’s needs.
This strength is not a routine starting dose for everyone. People consuming more than 2,000 IU per day should have their vitamin D blood levels monitored by a healthcare professional.
Key Vitamin D 5,000 I.U. 100t Benefits
- Supports calcium absorption in the intestine, helping the body use calcium from food as part of everyday mineral balance.
- Provides bone support through vitamin D’s role in maintaining the mineral supply needed for normal bone maintenance and remodeling.
- Supports normal muscle function and immune function, two established nutritional roles of vitamin D within the body.
How Vitamin D 5,000 I.U. 100t Works
The body activates vitamin D through steps in the liver and kidneys. Its active form helps intestinal cells absorb calcium and supports normal calcium and phosphate balance, providing minerals used in bone maintenance. Vitamin D3 also participates in signaling that supports normal immune and neuromuscular function; a higher dose does not automatically mean greater benefit.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin D3: Helps the intestine absorb dietary calcium. After activation in the body, it regulates the transport processes that move calcium from food into circulation. This supports calcium balance and the mineral supply used to maintain healthy bones, alongside adequate calcium intake.
Vitamin D 5,000 I.U. 100t Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare professional has identified a need for high-potency vitamin D.
- Adults seeking vitamin D supplementation as part of an individualized bone and mineral-support plan, with vitamin D blood-level monitoring.
