Take 1 gelcap at any time during the day with or without food, or as directed by your health care practitioner. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place without direct sunlight. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant, out of an abundance of caution, we recommend consulting your health care practitioner before using vitamin D3 potency+ or any dietary supplement product. Keep out of reach of children.

You can take vitamin D3 potency+ at any point in the day with or without food. The absorption of this essential fat-soluble vitamin is naturally supported with our built-in trio of organic oils (avocado, flaxseed, and extra virgin olive oils). Some customers may choose to take vitamin D3 potency+ along with their calcium supplement, since vitamin D3 is known to support calcium absorption in the body.* 

vitamin D3 potency+ features 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per serving (just 1 gelcap). This excellent source of vitamin D is intended to support healthy vitamin D levels in our body (i.e., 25-hydroxyvitamin D) and when taken daily, help maintain this vitamin D sufficiency over the long term.*

We carefully built in three high-quality organic oils (organic avocado, flaxseed, and extra virgin olive oils) to support the bioavailability of our hero ingredient (organic, algal vitamin D3) in the body. Our unique trio of organic, virgin oils provide over 400 mg of healthy unsaturated fatty acids in each gelcap. These unsaturated fats include healthy omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids, which deliver the added bonus of their intrinsic antioxidant properties known to support a healthy inflammatory response, as well as cardiometabolic and overall health.*

1. Premium ingredients: We chose to use premium vitamin D3. It’s from a sustainable algal source. It’s vegan and certified organic. Organic vitamin D3 is rare. Organic, sustainably sourced algal vitamin D3 is extremely rare. We also chose 3 premium, organic oils (organic flaxseed, avocado, and extra virgin olive oils) to complement this premium vitamin D3.

2. Potency: mbg vitamin D3 potency+ was specifically designed as a daily essential for life, formulated with a clinically effective dose (5,000 IU) in most adults. Many vitamin D products on the market contain sub-efficacious doses.

3. Form: This smart vitamin D3 supplement is delivered in our body's preferred form (vitamin D3, not vitamin D2), which is known to have superior bioavailability.

4. Built-in absorption technology: We engineered an innovative ingredient combination, with vitamin D3 plus organic oils. This all-in-one technology designed to be taken anytime of the day, with or without food. It's rare to find a vitamin D3 supplement with a built-in profile of healthy fats, much less a trio of carefully curated organic oils that deliver healthy omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids to support vitamin D's natural absorption in the body.  

Our high-quality formulas are delivered in premium, sustainable, and recyclable packaging (recyclable amber glass bottles and jars, recyclable bags, and recyclable cardboard shipping boxes made from 100% recycled paper). Always looking towards the latest innovations, we carefully and intentionally source our eco-friendly packaging to prioritize the environment, but also to protect the premium ingredients in our capsules, gelcaps, and powders (i.e., vitamins, minerals, botanicals, peptides, probiotics, bioactives) from UV light degradation. This is pivotal to ensure quality standards throughout the lifecycle of the product.

Unfortunately many refillable bags or containers do not provide the same protection and stability for our ingredients as our amber glass (bottles, jars) and PET bags achieve. What's more, the product-specific manufacturing information (i.e., specific identifiers such as the lot and date) stamped on each product would be lost when the customer discards the refill packaging, as is customary. That lost information would not enable us to comply with a variety of very important FDA regulations specific to dietary supplements (e.g., cGMPs, adverse event reporting, etc.), and regulatory compliance is something that mindbodygreen respects and prioritizes. From an additional safety standpoint, there are also microbial contamination concerns with refillable vessels over time. Thank you for your consideration as to why we have thoughtfully curated our packaging in the way we do.

No, because the vitamin D3 potency+ gelcap is gelatin, this supplement is not vegan. The four active ingredients are vegan (i.e., the organic, algal vitamin D3 and three organic oils), but their gelatin casing ultimately means the final product is not technically vegan.
