Before deciding which vitamin D supplement to buy – D, D2 or D3 – we want to make sure you’re well-informed so you make your own judgements:

What is vitamin D and what is it for?

Vitamin D is a nutrient that is necessary for everyone, yet its levels are often low due to lack of exposure to the sun's UVB rays. Calciferol vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the body, aids the absorption of calcium from food and controls calcium levels.

What are the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency in the body?

Everyone is likely to need to take calciferol supplements.

A number of factors can prevent the possibility of obtaining sufficient levels through its main source: the sun.

Some of these may include:

SPENDING A LOT OF TIME INDOORS.

LIVING IN CITIES WITH HIGH POLLUTION OR LARGE BUILDINGS THAT KEEP OUT THE SUN.

INAPPROPRIATE USE OF SUNSCREEN.

HAVING A POSSESSION OF DARK SKIN, WITH MORE MELANIN, WHICH PREVENTS THE SUN'S RAYS FROM PENETRATING.

The most common way to find out how low your vitamin D levels are is through blood tests that you can you can request from your family doctor.

The main source by which your body produces vitamin D is exposure to UV rays for 10-20 minutes without sun protection, as this blocks around 95% of its creation.

Apart from obtaining it from food, such as olive oil, the safest way to obtain it is through vitamin D nutritional supplements. Shop for these products at HSN.

What is the daily amount of Vitamin D?

	Vitamin D
Babies up to 1 year of age	10mcg
Children from 1 year of age	15mcg
Teenagers per 12 kg of body weight	15mcg

Which vitamin D to buy and which is the most effective?

The active form is found in two forms:

D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol), supplementing blood levels.
You can also find it in a multivitamin or fortified foods based on vitamin D.

Discover our range of vegan vitamin D products. This vitamin D3 cholecalciferol product comes in vegetable capsules of two different IU concentrations: 1000IU (25 mcg per service) or 4000IU (100 mcg), being a product designed for those who follow a vegan diet.

Sourced from a non-animal micro-organism, lichen, this vitamin D calciferol is key to ensuring vitamin D levels, which are in such short supply due to the lack, in the vast majority of cases, of sufficient exposure to UVB sunlight.

It is very common to suffer from vitamin C deficiency and if this is your case, HSN recommends that you combine this highly concentrated supplement with your diet:
