SunVit-D3 – Vitamin D3 Tablets Range
SunVit-D3 is a range of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) food supplements available in daily and high-strength weekly tablet formulations.

High-strength weekly products should be taken once weekly and not once daily.
Do not exceed the recommended intake unless specifically advised by a doctor or other healthcare professional.
UK Vitamin D guidance
For general prevention of Vitamin D deficiency, adults should consider taking:
- 10 micrograms / 400 IU Vitamin D daily during autumn and winter
People who have little or no exposure to sunlight or who are at increased risk of Vitamin D deficiency may be advised to take:
- 10 micrograms / 400 IU daily throughout the year
Higher doses may be appropriate for people with diagnosed deficiency or increased requirements, but the appropriate dose depends on the individual's circumstances and, where relevant, blood-test results.
Important information
SunVit-D3 tablets are food supplements and are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Do not take several Vitamin D-containing products together without checking the total Vitamin D intake.
