Vitamin D
Here Comes The Sun
Known as the “sunshine vitamin”, vitamin D is unusual because your body can produce it when your skin is exposed to sufficient sunlight.
But sunlight isn't always reliable. During the darker months, particularly in northern climates, our opportunity to produce vitamin D from sunlight can be significantly reduced.
Our liquid formula provides 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 in a convenient daily capsule.
Research shows that vitamin D:
-
Supports the immune system -
Helps maintain healthy bones and teeth
-
Supports muscle function
-
Helps your body absorb and use calcium and phosphorus

Benefits backed by science
Bones, joints & muscles
Vitamin D and calcium have a close relationship — but you need more than simply consuming calcium to make use of it. The presence of vitamin D increases the absorbtion of calcium and maintains phosphorus levels in the blood.
Observational studies have concluded that high levels of vitamin D in people affect their muscle mass and strength in a range of positive ways. It has been shown that vitamin D turns off a signalling mechanism within cells that promote an inflammatory response.
Immunity
Numerous studies indicate the link between healthy vitamin D levels and a strong immune system. Adequate vitamin D in the body is associated with decreased likelihood of catching infections, and increased effectiveness of the immune system.
Brain & stress
Sunny days uplift your mood and so does D3. Studies indicate that vitamin D increases serotonin (the "happy hormone") levels in the brain which acts to lift your mood.
Why take our Vitamin D
Vitamin D
Not all vitamin D is created equally. We use D3 because it's the same biologically active form of vitamin D that your body produces as it supports the function of more than 3,000 cells in your body.
Enhanced absorption
Most vitamin D3 on the market is in traditional capsule form. We've designed a liquid formula for higher bioavailability, and we've added sunflower oil to enhance absorption.
Interesting Facts
Who should take vitamin D?
You should consider supplementing vitamin D3 if you are vegan, live in a northern climate, live in a big city with high pollution and buildings that block sunlight, don't get at least 30 minutes of natural sunlight every day or have a darker skin complexion.
Is vitamin D really that important?
Vitamin D is one of the 24 micronutrients your body needs to survive, but it is not found in many different foods. As we age, our production declines — for example, a 70-year-old makes 75% less vitamin D3 than a 20-year-old does. We also suggest supplementation during the fall and winter months due to the lack of natural sunlight. It's no surprise that these months are the peak of the cold and flu season.
What are some other benefits of vitamin D?
Common deficiency: It’s estimated that around 1 billion people globally suffer from low levels of vitamin D. Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are varied and not immediately recognisable, that's why it is advisable to supplement your diet.
From brain to bones: Studies show that vitamin D is key for regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and normal growth and development of bones and teeth. It's also shown to play a role in supporting your cardiovascular health, respiratory system, cognitive health and muscle function, while also helping the immune system fight free radicals.
Do I need to take vitamin D during summer?
This is really dependant on your day-to-day exposure to sunlight, especially UVB rays. Our body will usually produce sufficient vitamin D during the summer months, as we’re more likely to be exposed to the sun at this time of the year. However, if you work indoors, stay away from the sun, or live in a northern latitude you may not get enough UVB exposure to support adequate vitamin D synthesis. For people with a darker complexion living in Europe or North America, supplementation is advised all year round.
When is the best time to take Vitamin D?
Research suggests you can take Vitamin D when it's convenient for you. We'd recommend earlier in the day and with a meal and water to help absorption. Avoid taking with caffeine as this can prevent absorption and increase excretion.
