Sun Vit-D3 Film Coated Tablets Sun Vit-D3 Film Coated Tablets contain pharmaceutical grade vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) & are the vitamin D of choice for many hospital trusts & community medicines management teams including the Central Manchester Foundation Trust, the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, the Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group & Lincolnshire CCGs. To maintain healthy vitamin D3 levels, health professionals recommend a daily maintenance of 1, 000 IU
- 2, 000 IU of vitamin D3 & the range also contains higher strengths which may be taken under medical supervision. The Department of Health recommends that vitamin D supplementation may be particularly beneficial for pregnant & breastfeeding women, children aged under five years old, people aged 65 or over, people who are not exposed to much sun (e.g. people who are housebound or who cover up their skin for cultural reasons) & people who have darker skin because their bodies are less able to produce as much vitamin D. Athletes who train indoors may also be at risk of Vitamin D deficiency which is why the 20, 000 IU strength has undergone an extensive procedure carried out by the anti-doping laboratory LGC Sport & Specialised analytical service to ensure that it is free from a wide range of substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This provides the highest level of assurance for athletes that the product is safe. Sun Vit-D3 Film Coated Tablets are free from gelatin, peanut oil, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten & dairy products, although they contain traces of lactose. They are suitable for kosher patients & are officially approved by The Vegetarian Society & the Halal Monitoring Committee.
