Pharma Nord BioActive D-Pearls 3000 IU Vitamin D 80 Capsules

Pharma Nord BioActive D-Pearls 3000 IU Vitamin D 80 Capsules are small, soft gelatin capsules with 3000 IU (75 µg) vitamin D3 in each capsule. The vitamin D is dissolved in cold-pressed olive oil to improve absorption in the digestive system as vitamin-D is a fat-soluble vitamin. Their size makes them easy to swallow, but they can also be chewed. Research has shown that D-Pearls have a high absorption in the body.

D-Pearls have been tested by researchers at the University of Oslo who gave athletes different doses of vitamin D in the form of D-Pearls and inactive placebo capsules. The test showed that D-Pearls both in high and low dosage was absorbed well by the participants while the athletes who received placebo, had unchanged vitamin D in the blood.

• Adults who wear fully covering clothes in the summer time

Measurement of vitamin D

The safest way to know one's vitamin D status is by means of a blood test. However, for normal, healthy individuals there is no immediate need to measure blood levels of vitamin D. For certain groups, however, it is advisable to gauge their vitamin D status.

For instance, people with a lifestyle that gives reason to believe that they could benefit from checking their status. Besides the obvious factors that limit vitamin D such as lack of sunlight and poor diet, there are more subtle causes such as the fact that some types of medicine may affect the body’s vitamin D absorption, thereby increasing the need for this particular nutrient.
