Jamieson Vitamin D 1,000 IU, 100 tabs

Vitamin D, often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin," is a fat-soluble vitamin that it is also considered to be a hormone. Vitamin D is well known for the important role it plays in helping the body to absorb calcium as well as maintaining strong bones to prevent osteoporosis. New studies show that Vitamin D may also be effective in helping reduce the risk of certain cancers. Many researchers now advise increasing daily Vitamin D intake to 1,000 IU. Jamieson Vitamin D 1,000 IU is formulated with bioavailable Vitamin D₃ to help you meet your needs for this essential nutrient.

New studies, however, also show that Vitamin D may be effective for helping to reduce the risk of certain cancers by almost 60 percent.

Evidence suggests that the current Vitamin D recommendations — 200 to 600 IU per day, depending on age — are too low. Many researchers now advise increasing daily Vitamin D intake to 1,000 IU.

Jamieson Vitamin D 1,000 IU is formulated to help you meet your needs for this essential nutrient. It is made with premium-grade Vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol), the same form that is naturally produced in the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight. It also more readily absorbed by the body than Vitamin D₂.
