D-10,000 (Vitamin D3) - Vitamin Bone & Cardiovascular Support
For individuals needing high-dose Vitamin D supplementation
It is essential to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels throughout all stages of life, from Foetal development to old age.*
Vitamin D helps protect a number of important functions in the body.*
Although direct sunlight exposure is a good source of Vitamin D, many people do not get enough sun due to season change, latitude, or lifestyle. Therefore, Vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these cases.*
Vitamin D deficiency is quite common, particularly among the elderly.* For example, a study conducted at a hospital in Glasgow, Scotland, found an almost universal Vitamin D deficiency among a group of 548 elderly patients.
Individuals deficient in Vitamin D may need 5,000-10,000iu of Vitamin D daily to replenish tissue stores.*
Other individuals who may need higher doses of Vitamin D include the obese (the more a person weighs, the greater their Vitamin D requirements), individuals with chronic disease, darker-skinned population and those with fat mal-absorption.*
With these individuals specifically in mind, Thorne's D-10,000 supplies 10,000iu of pure Vitamin D3 in each vegetarian capsule
Some Vitamins, because of their potency, are usually given in very small amounts.
Examples of such "micro-dose" Vitamins include Vitamin D, Vitamin K, and Vitamin B12.
Most dietary supplement manufacturers purchase "micro-dose" Vitamins from raw material suppliers as premixed dilutions, meaning the Vitamins (in powder form) are mixed with other powdered substances that in turn make it easier for the manufacturer to handle and mix a larger quantity of raw material.
Unfortunately, the powdered substances used in these premixed dilutions frequently contain potentially detrimental ingredients such as Lactose and also the preservatives BHT, BHA, Sodium Benzoate and Sorbic Acid.
At Thorne Research, they promise is to give you the purest supplements humanly possible
Therefore, they do not purchase premixed dilutions of any "micro-dose" Vitamins
Instead, they purchase pure, undiluted Vitamins and create their own dilutions when it is necessary to do so, using pure, hypoallergenic powders, such as Magnesium Citrate or PlantCellulose
The resultant pre-mixture is then added to the dietary supplement being made, ensuring the proper amount of each pure nutrient is contained in each capsule.
