Living eleven degrees north of the equator makes that assumption feel reasonable. It often is not. Sustaining healthy blood levels of vitamin D takes more direct sun on more skin than most working days allow, and office hours, air conditioning and sunscreen all sit between you and it.
D3, cholecalciferol, is the form skin makes for itself, and it is the more absorbable of the two forms sold. Vitamin XL delivers it at 125 mcg, which is 5,000 IU, in one soft gel. Part of what it does there is help your body absorb the calcium that bone is built from, which is why bone health and vitamin D are always discussed together.
Bone health, immune function and brain health are all on the label and all three are claims about a normally working body. Note also that 5,000 IU is a real dose, so this is one to raise at the counter if you already take a multivitamin or anything else carrying vitamin D.
| Amount per serving | %DV | |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) | 125 mcg (5,000 IU) | 625% |
% Daily Value based on a Daily Value of 20 mcg (800 IU) for vitamin D.
The other ingredients, the soft gel shell and the oil it is carried in, are printed on the bottle. We have left them off rather than guess at them. Read the label if you have an allergy.
Active confirmed against the bottle and against Great HealthWorks' own product listing. Ask your pharmacist whether it suits you, particularly if you already take a multivitamin.

Pick your region, or search by pharmacy name or town. Every listing carries an address and a number you can tap to dial.
Pharmacies order on their own schedule and set their own price. One short call tells you if they have Vitamin XL and what it costs, before you start the car.
Your pharmacist knows what else you take and what interacts with what. Ask them whether it suits you.
It is a meaningful dose rather than a token one, which is the reason to mention it to your pharmacist, particularly if you already take a multivitamin, a calcium supplement or anything else with vitamin D in it. They will tell you whether it suits you.
D2 comes from plant and fungal sources. D3, cholecalciferol, is the form your own skin makes in sunlight and the more absorbable of the two. This is D3.
Vitamin D is fat soluble, so it is generally taken with a meal. Follow the label and ask at the counter if you are unsure.
At a pharmacy, not from us. Open Find a Pharmacy, pick your region or type your town, and you will get an address, and a phone number where we have one. Ring before you drive, because stock moves and no pharmacy holds every product all the time.
That is up to the pharmacy. We supply them, we do not price for them, and the same bottle can differ by a good margin between two shops in the same town. The pharmacy you call will quote you on the spot.
Five formulations, all supplied through the same pharmacy network.
