Always Read The Leaflet

SunVit-D3 Film-Coated Tablets contain pharmaceutical grade vitamin D3 (Colecalciferol/Cholecalciferol) and are the vitamin D supplement of choice for many hospital trusts and community medicines management teams including the Central Manchester Foundation Trust, the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, the Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group and Lincolnshire CCGs.

To maintain healthy vitamin D3 levels, health professionals recommend a daily maintenance of 1,000 IU - 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 and the range also contains higher strengths which may be taken under medical supervision. The Department of Health recommends that vitamin D supplementation may be particularly beneficial for pregnant and breastfeeding women, children aged under five years old, people aged 65 or over, people who are not exposed to much sun (e.g. people who are housebound or who cover up their skin for cultural reasons) and people who have darker skin because their bodies are less able to produce as much vitamin D.

SunVit-D3 Film-Coated Tablets are free from gelatin, peanut oil, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten and dairy products, although they contain traces of lactose. They are suitable for kosher patients and are officially approved by The Vegetarian Society and the Halal Monitoring Committee.

Warnings & Precautions

Vitamin D products are available at several doses including some considered to be higher than the usual daily recommended amount to be taken.

Recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for vitamin D are mostly in the range of 600 – 1000iu daily. Tablets or capsules of vitamin D containing larger amounts are only intended for weekly administration and are high dosage preparations.

It is strongly recommended that you consult a healthcare professional such as your doctor or pharmacist before taking any high doses (greater than 1000 IU daily) of any vitamin D preparation.

When high doses of Vitamin D are taken for long periods, there is the potential for adverse effects such as excess calcium in the blood and urine (hypercalcaemia and hypercalciuria) which may lead to deposition of calcium in soft tissue, the formation of calcium stones in the kidneys and other sites, and the potential for irreversible kidney and heart damage. This is especially the case in people who have the rare disease of sarcoidosis, who should always consult their doctor before taking vitamin D.
