- Product Information
- As little as 10% of our vitamin D3 intake comes from our diet, the best sources being oily fish (salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel), red meat, liver and egg yolks. Margarine and some breakfast cereals may be 'fortified' with vitamin D but only in small amounts. The best way to synthesise vitamin D3 is via sunlight. However, this can be much harder in the winter months.
The Department of Health recommends all UK adults should consider taking at least 10µg of vitamin D3 between October and March, while the five at-risk groups for low vitamin D3 should take this level all year round. Since each drop of our Vitamin D3 Drops provides 5µg (200iu) of pure vitamin D3, we recommend taking 2 drops for a 10µg dose.
Our vitamin D3 drops are an easy and convenient way to supplement vitamin D3 and an excellent choice for the whole family, especially those who find it difficult to swallow tablets or capsules.
Each drop provides 5μg (200iu) of vitamin D3, with 600 drops per 20ml bottle. We’ve suspended our vitamin D3 drops in a base of virgin olive oil, which has a very mild taste and light aroma, akin to quality culinary virgin olive oil.
Our vitamin D3 drops also include a mixture of natural vitamin E tocopherols that prevents the oil from going rancid. This also has the advantage of making our liquid vitamin D3 preservative-free.
Unlike many other companies, we manufacture and package our high-performance formula in UK factories working to strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure our quality standards are always met.
This product is suitable for vegetarians.

Sourced from the lanolin content of wool, the material undergoes further processing to ensure an extremely pure and crystalline pre-vitamin D3 material. Through exposure to uv light (the same process our bodies use to manufacture vitamin D from sunlight), a highly stable form of vitamin D3 is manufactured.
Our Vegan Vitamin D3 supplement contains cholecalciferol sourced from plant lichen.

"Probably better than a tablet. "

I was deficient in vitamin D some time ago and was advised by my GP to take a supplement. I was using vit. D in tablet form for a long time before discovering these drops. I can not comment on their effectiveness as without having another blood test, which GPs don''t like to do vitamin D tests for cost reasons, I don''t know how you would know. I do think, however think that this form will be a better quality with a lot less "other ingredients " added to them. They do taste awful, in my opinion, though. I add my drops to a tiny amount of fresh orange juice to disguise the taste. I also must mention that the dropper on the bottle dispenses the drops inconsistently and I adjust the amount of drops according to the size of the drops that are dispensed after discussing this with the company''s health advisors. Apparently they are aware of this problem.
The advisors are very helpful and answer any questions promptly.

"Easy To Take!"

The bottle has a dropper built in, so easy to use.
I 'drop' the required number of drops directly on to my tongue and then have a sip of juice, so do not taste anything, apart from juice!
If taking tablets is an issue, this is the way to go!

I believe during the Winter months we need extra vitamin D to make up for the lack of sunlight.
