Vitamin D3 20 ml

Vitamin D3 Drops by Edubily

Vitamin D is one of the essential micronutrients with numerous recognized functions in the body. It contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, thereby playing a key role in maintaining healthy bones. Vitamin D also contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the immune system.

Edubily uses only a few ingredients in its vitamin D line: it contains only cholecalciferol (vitamin D) and coconut-based MCT oil, with no other additives. Easy to dose with the dropper: one drop contains 20 µg (= 800 IU) of vitamin D.

Frequently asked questions and answers from Edubily

Is vitamin D3 vegetarian or vegan?

Vitamin D3 is vegetarian but not vegan. It is derived from wool fat (lanolin) from sheep.

Can I add vitamin D3 to food or drinks?

Theoretically, yes, but taking it orally is preferable. That way, the vitamin D3 can be absorbed through the mucous membranes.

How much vitamin D is in food?

Vitamin D is found only in very small amounts in the diet; in most cases, dietary sources can cover only 10–20% of the recommended daily intake. Foods containing significant amounts of vitamin D include fatty fish (such as salmon, herring, and mackerel). 

Isn't it enough just to spend time in the sun?

In our latitudes, the intensity of sunlight between October and March is not sufficient to produce enough vitamin D. 

What is the optimal vitamin D level?

The recommended optimal vitamin D levels vary depending on the source. According to the Robert Koch Institute, a level of approximately 20 ng/ml (50 nmol/l) is considered sufficient. However, several professional societies, including the Endocrine Society, as well as vitamin D pioneer Michael F. Holick (recent publication in Nature), recommend at least 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/l) to maximize the positive effects on calcium, bone, and muscle metabolism.

How does body weight affect the vitamin D dose?

Body weight has a direct impact on vitamin D requirements. First, adipose tissue can act as a “storage site” for vitamin D, reducing its availability in the blood. Second, the need for vitamin D increases with body mass. Studies show that severely obese individuals require up to two to three times more vitamin D, while those who are overweight should, on average, aim for about 50% more.

How much vitamin D should one-year-olds be given?

A recent scientific article in the prestigious journal *Nature* recommends a daily intake of 400 to 1,000 IU for infants up to one year of age. For babies and children, we also carry aspecially formulated supplement from Edubily in our product range. This makes it safe and easy to administer to children.

Is it possible to overdose on vitamin D?

Theoretically, yes, but in practice this is rare. Vitamin D is one of the safest vitamins, as the skin naturally produces very high amounts of it in the summer through sun exposure. The skin can produce a dose of about 10,000 IU—often considered high—in just a few minutes. Nevertheless, very high doses of over 10,000 IU per day should be avoided over extended periods of time.

Does vitamin D need to be combined with vitamin K2?

Not essential, but recommended. Vitamin D influences the production of vitamin K-dependent proteins. Taking an additional supplement of K2 may therefore be beneficial. In our product range, you’ll find a separate vitamin K1 & K2 supplement, as well as 2-in-1 vitamin D3 and K2 drops.

Is it safe to take vitamin D3 during pregnancy?

Yes! Up to 4,000 IU per day, according to studies.
