NATURAL FACTORS - Vitamin D3 LipoMicel 2000 IU - 180  Softgel(s) - NPN : 80121642 Natural Factors Vitamin D3 LipoMicel contains an enhanced source of vitamin D3 in a patent-pending LipoMicel formulation to help prevent vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D intake, when combined with sufficient calcium, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis in people with vitamin D deficiency. Each softgel delivers 2000 IU of vitamin D3 in a base of flaxseed oil and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for enhanced absorption.The body uses vitamin D to help build strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D also helps support immune function. The challenge with this vitamin is its fat-soluble nature and difficulty mixing with the watery gut environment. In addition, other substances, such as cholesterol, can interfere with vitamin D absorption.Using LipoMicel technology, vitamin D is combined with flaxseed oil and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that support its absorption and maximize the benefits of this essential vitamin. Our patent-pending LipoMicel formulation creates a unique liquid micelle matrix that disperses vitamin D into tiny, absorbable microdroplets.LipoMicel Vitamin D is non-GMO and contains the natural cholecalciferol (D3) form of this vital nutrient. Each easy-to-take softgel delivers a 2000 IU dose of vitamin D3 for convenient maintenance of adequate vitamin D levels. It is a great formula for adults with an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency, including seniors, people who do not get sufficient sun exposure, and people who do not eat foods fortified with vitamin D.DIRECTIONS & USERecommended adult dose: 1 softgel, 1 time daily or as directed by a health care practitioner.
