What are Vitamin D capsules?

Vitamin D capsules are supplements used to help maintain healthy bones, teeth, and muscles by regulating calcium and phosphate levels in the body. Vitamin D is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because the body produces it when exposed to sunlight.

What are Vitamin D capsules used for?

Vitamin D capsules are used to prevent or treat Vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to bone problems like rickets in children and osteomalacia or osteoporosis in adults. They are also recommended for people who do not get enough sunlight, such as those living in colder climates or spending a lot of time indoors.

Vitamin D and Pregnancy

Vitamin D is essential during pregnancy for the healthy development of the baby’s bones and teeth. Pregnant women are often advised to take a daily Vitamin D supplement to ensure they get enough for both themselves and their baby.

Vitamin D and Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mothers are usually advised to continue taking Vitamin D supplements to ensure both they and their baby get enough of the vitamin. Vitamin D is important for the baby's growth and development.

Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency

Signs of Vitamin D deficiency include:

  • Fatigue
  • Muscle weakness
  • Bone pain
  • Mood changes

How much Vitamin D should I take

The typical dose of Vitamin D capsules is 400-1000iu per day for adults. However, those with a deficiency may require a higher dose, as recommended by their doctor.

Vitamin D side effects

Side effects are rare, but taking too much Vitamin D can cause high calcium levels, which may lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or confusion. If you experience these side effects, stop taking the tablets and consult your doctor.

How to store Vitamin D capsules

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep the tablets in their original packaging and do not use after the expiry date.
