Solgar Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) 600 IU (15µg) 120 Capsules is a once-daily vitamin D3 food supplement in vegetable capsules, for adults. Each capsule provides 15µg of vitamin D as cholecalciferol, which is above the 10µg a day the NHS says adults need.
**Key Features**
- **15µg (600 IU) per capsule:** One capsule provides 15µg of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, which is 300% of the nutrient reference value.
- **One capsule a day:** The label directs one capsule daily, preferably at mealtime.
- **Vitamin D functions:** Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function, normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and normal blood calcium levels.
- **Vegetable capsule shell:** The shell is made from hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, and Solgar lists the product as vegetarian and kosher.
- **Free from common additives:** The label states it is free of gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, yeast, preservatives, sweeteners, artificial flavours and colours.
### Who should take a vitamin D supplement?
The NHS says everyone should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during autumn and winter, when the sun is not strong enough for the body to make it. Most people can make all the vitamin D they need from sunlight and a balanced diet from late March or early April to the end of September, so may choose not to take a supplement then. The NHS recommends year-round supplements for people who are not often outdoors, who live in a care home, who usually cover most of their skin outdoors, or who have dark skin.
### Is 600 IU more than the NHS recommends?
The NHS gives 10 micrograms (400 IU) a day as the amount most adults need, so a 15µg (600 IU) capsule provides 1.5 times that amount. The upper limit the NHS gives is covered in the Warnings section.
### How long does a 120 capsule pack last?
At the label dose of one capsule a day, 120 capsules last 120 days.
