    One of the best Vitamin D supplements in Canada

    Vitapas D (Vitamin D 2500 IU supplement) helps to prevent Vitamin D deficiency by providing the body with 2500 IU of Vitamin D suitable for adults. Pascoe’s Vitapas D contains Vitamin D3 in a plant-based softgel with no added fillers or stabilizers. Vitamin D intake, when combined with sufficient calcium, a healthy diet and regular exercise may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis in people with Vitamin D deficiency.​

    Take Vitapas D once daily, in an easy-to-swallow softgel to help to maintain healthy Vitamin D levels. Vitapas D is formulated in an olive oil base to help ease Vitamin D absorption. Available in 90 or 180 softgels, Vitapas D is gluten-free, lactose-free, peanut-free, and gelatin-free.

    What are the benefits of taking Vitamin D 2500? 

    Vitamin D 2500 IU can be used daily to help maintain healthy levels and to promote overall bone health which may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Since few foods naturally contain Vitamin D it is necessary to supplement the body with amounts that cannot be produced by the body on its own.

     Supplementing with Vitamin D or the sunshine vitamin helps to regulate the absorption of calcium necessary for building and maintaining healthy bones. Vitamin D 2500 IU helps to supplement the body with adequate levels of Vitamin D.

    Vitamin D3 2500 supplements can help to prevent Vitamin D deficiency and provide vitamins for those without sufficient sun exposure or other risk factors. In children (9+) and adults, the tolerable upper intake level (UL) is 4,000IU per day.

    Vitamin D supplement Benefits

    Getting enough Vitamin D is where Vitamin D supplements play a crucial role in many essential functions in the body. Vitamin D supplements contain safe and effective recommended daily amounts of fat-soluble Vitamin D with several benefits. 

    In addition to preventing deficiencies, benefits include helping to regulate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and studies have shown it plays a role in healthy immune system function.1 Vitamin D supplements have been shown in current studies to help improve mood, reduce bone loss or prevent fractures, improve lung function and cardiovascular health and regulate insulin levels.2

    Who should take Vitamin D?

    Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that we need in minimum amounts daily. Since sun exposure and food sources are generally not enough, supplementing with Vitamin D should be a part of your daily routine. Individuals with a higher risk of osteoporosis, Vitamin D deficiencies or weakened bones or teeth should take Vitamin D supplements daily. 

    Those who live in Canada are at higher risk of developing Vitamin D deficiencies due to reduced sun exposure, especially in winter. Research suggests that the best time to take Vitamin D is during the winter months in normally healthy people. Factors for reduced production of Vitamin D in the body include ethnicity, age, exposure, geographical area, pregnancy, seasonality and other lifestyle factors.

    Symptoms of lower levels of Vitamin D or deficiencies include:

    • Fatigue

    • Bone pain

    • Muscle weakness, muscle cramps and muscle aches

    • Changes in mood

     Groups at higher risk for Vitamin D deficiencies:

    • Individuals who spend most of the day indoors (elderly, homebound or other factors)

    • Infants and children

    • Certain medical conditions

    • Older adults (natural production of Vitamin D reduces with age)

    • Pregnant and breastfeeding women

    If you think you might be deficient in Vitamin D talk to your healthcare provider. Vitamin D levels can be measured by a blood test. 

    If you think you might be seriously deficient in Vitamin D talk to your healthcare provider or test your Vitamin D levels at home.
