Solgar Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 4000 IU (100 µg) Vegetable Capsules provide a high-strength, one-a-day dose of vitamin D3, the form of vitamin D the body produces naturally from sunlight. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function, making this capsule a convenient option for anyone wanting a higher-strength alternative to standard 10 microgram supplements.
**Key Features**
- **High-strength 100 µg (4,000 IU) dose:** Provides ten times the standard 10 µg daily amount most adults need, in a single capsule.
- **Contributes to normal immune function:** Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- **Contributes to normal bone, teeth and muscle maintenance:** Vitamin D helps maintain normal bones, teeth and muscle function.
- **Vegetable capsule shell:** Uses a vegetable-based hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose capsule shell rather than gelatine, suitable for vegetarians and those following a kosher diet.
- **Simple one-a-day dose:** Just one capsule provides the full daily amount, without needing multiple doses through the day.
### Is it safe to take 100 µg (4,000 IU) of vitamin D every day?
NHS guidance advises adults not to take more than 100 µg (4,000 IU) of vitamin D a day, as taking more over a long period can lead to a build-up of calcium in the body (hypercalcaemia), which can weaken bones and damage the kidneys and heart. This product provides that full amount in a single capsule, so it should not be taken alongside other vitamin D supplements, and anyone with a medical condition affecting calcium levels should check with a doctor before use.
### Is this product suitable for vegans?
Solgar states this product is suitable for vegetarians and those following a kosher diet. Vegan suitability is not stated by the manufacturer for this product.
### Why is this capsule so much stronger than a standard 10 microgram vitamin D supplement?
NHS guidance says most adults need 10 µg of vitamin D a day, but people who are rarely outdoors, live in an institution, usually wear clothes that cover most of their skin, or have darker skin, may not make enough vitamin D from sunlight and may be advised to take a higher amount. This product's 100 µg one-a-day strength offers a higher-dose option within the NHS's stated safe upper limit.
