It is easy to feel the benefits of vitamin D when you are standing out in the sunshine. While this Solgar vitamin D supplement is not quite a holiday on the Costas, it could have a similar effect.
Made with naturally sourced vitamin D3 with no added sugar, salt or starch, these vegan and vegetarian appropriate vitamin D capsules contain 1000IU of the sunshine vitamin, helping to support healthy bones and muscle function and aiding normal function of your immune system.
Who will benefit from a vitamin D3 supplement?
For much of the year, most of us will get all the vit D that we require from simply enjoying the great outdoors because our body is able to make what it needs from sunshine.
However, from autumn and through to late March, when days are shorter and darker in the northern hemisphere, a lot of us will struggle to get all the vitamin D we need.
In fact, many national governments and healthcare providers, including the NHS, recommend that everyone should take a vitamin D supplement during this time.
Some of us will even need a year-round supply of vitamin D from a source like Solgar vitamin D3 tablets.
People with darker skin, those living in cities where sunlight might be blocked by high rise buildings, the housebound and people who work inside with limited access to sunlight for most of the day can all be at risk of a vitamin D deficiency.
Even if you are ultra-vigilant about sunscreen – as you should be - you may need an extra pop of vitamin D in your life.
Why vitamin D3?
Vitamin D occurs in two forms; vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, and vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol.
While D2 is commonly found in vegetables and yeasts, D3 is present in animal-based foods, particularly oily fish and eggs.
Because D3 appears to be almost twice as effective at raising levels of vitamin D in the body, it tends to be the more commonly selected supplement.
How can vitamin D tablets help me?
Vitamin D is vital to good bone health, working alongside calcium to ensure our bones, muscles and even teeth are strong and stand the test of time.
When we do not have enough vitamin D in our bodies, calcium can’t do its good work, no matter how many pints of milk we chug. And we open ourselves up to the risk of bone fractures.
Vitamin D is known to support our immune system, with low levels of this vital vitamin often showing itself as an increased susceptibility to becoming ill.

FAQs
What is vitamin D?
Vitamin D is a nutrient which is fat-soluble and helps to support the normal regulation of calcium and phosphate in the body.
When we think of vitamin D, we often think of just one vitamin. However, it is actually a family of nutrients, which are all similar in chemical structure.
Vitamin D comes in two main forms: vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, and vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol.
Dietary supplements are available in the form of vitamin D tablets.

Is vitamin D3 the same as vitamin D?
Vitamin D is the collective name for a family of nutrients, all of which are similar in chemical structure. Vitamin D3 and vitamin D2 are the two main forms of vit D.
The main difference between the two is that vitamin D3 comes from animal sources whereas vitamin D2 comes from plants.
Vitamin D3 is also produced by the skin, when it is exposed to direct sunlight whereas vitamin D2 is not.
Sources of vitamin D2 include mushrooms which have been grown in UV light, fortified foods, where D2 has been added as well as dietary supplements.

Which foods naturally contain vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 comes from animal sources of food.
It is found in oily fish such as salmon, as well as red meat, egg yolks and liver. It is also added to some fortified foods, such as breakfast cereals.
The main source of vitamin D3 for humans is via exposure to sunlight. The skin converts direct sunlight into vitamin D3.
If you do not eat many of these foods or you spend most of your time indoors, than it might be worth adding a supplement to your diet, to ensure that you are getting enough vitamin D.
It is also worth adding vitamin D capsules to your routine during the winter months, when there is not really enough sunlight during the day for us to get all the vitamin D that we need through sunlight alone.

How much vitamin D3 should I take daily?
The NHS recommends that adults should get at least 10mg of vitamin D through their diets or from vitamin D3 supplements each day.
You should therefore take one of the Solgar Vitamin D3 1000IU 90 Tablets daily, preferably with a meal, unless instructed otherwise by a medical professional.
You could take your D3 supplement with breakfast, lunch or dinner since there is no best time to take it.

Although Solgar Vitamin D3 1000IU 90 Tablets are not suitable for vegans, they are suitable for anyone who is following a vegetarian diet.
