Most people with vitamin D deficiency are asymptomatic, but, some possible signs include:

• Bones and muscle weakness or chronic back pain, particularly in the legs, ribs or joints
• Mood swings: May also extend to poor sleep or fatigue.
• Weakened immunity

Other signs include a loss of appetite, pale skin and severe hair loss, and slow healing of wounds.

Liposomes closely resembles the structure of cell membranes and this similarity enables liposomes to fuse with the cells in the intestinal lining more readily, facilitating the transfer of vitamin D3 directly into the bloodstream. This enhanced absorption means that more vitamin D3 would become available for use by the body, increasing its efficacy. These liposomes also serve as a protective barrier around vitamin D3, which helps vitamin D3 survive the harsh conditions of the digestive system, allowing it to be absorbed intact in the small intestine.

Liposomal Vitamin D3 helps increase and maintain vitamin D levels in the body, which is crucial for overall body wellness. Vitamin D promotes absorption of calcium and phosphate, supporting bone health. Liposomal Vitamin D3 also supports muscle strength, immunity and positive mood. Sufficient vitamin D intake helps regulate blood glucose levels and blood pressure, improve heart function and reduce cardiovascular risks Maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D is essential for overall wellness, including healthy inflammatory response, energy boost and healthy weight management.

Take Liposomal Vitamin D3 with a meal that contains some healthy fats. Vitamin D is fat-soluble and absorption can be further enhanced by the presence of dietary fats, together with liposomal encapsulation technology. Avoid taking vitamin D3 together with caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and tea, as caffeine can hinder vitamin D3 absorption.

Yes, you can. Many children do not get sufficient vitamin D through their diet and deficiency of vitamin D is common among children. The daily vitamin D requirement for children is 400 to 600 IU, but the optimum daily dosage is 1000 IU (J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2011 Jul;96(7):1911-1930), which is equivalent to 1 softgel of Liposomal Vitamin D3. If swallowing the whole softgel is not possible, the vitamin D can be squeezed into milk or food for ease of consumption.

Vitamin D2 and D3 are the two main forms of vitamin D. While both of them help correct vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D3 is more effective in increasing vitamin D levels in the bloodstream for a longer period than vitamin D2. A study comparing vitamin D2 and D3 concluded that vitamin D3 is approximately 87% more potent in increasing and maintaining serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), which is the major circulating form of vitamin D in the blood. Besides, vitamin D3 produces 2 to 3-folder higher storage of vitamin D compared to vitamin D2 (Clinical Journal of Endocrinology Metabolism (2011)). Liposomal Vitamin D3 is however different from most vitamin D3. Unlike most vitamin D3 which derived from animals, the vitamin D3 in this formula is sourced from lichen and hence, it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. With liposome encapsulation technology, the efficacy of vitamin D3 is more superior than regular vitamin D3, delivering quicker and more effective results.
