Thriva's vegan vitamin D3 bottle

Vitamin D3 capsules made in the UK

Product Details
Ingredients

All our vitamin D supplements are high quality and non-GMO, with full ingredient traceability within the UK.

Our vitamin D3 is made from lichen. This is the best form for your body to maintain your blood vitamin D levels for longer. It’s also a great source of vitamin D for plant-based diets.

1 capsule provides 1000 IU (25 mcg). We recommend taking 1 Thriva capsule per day.

I’ve been consistently using Thriva supplements over the last 6 months. Vitamin D was recommended to me after my Thriva test showed I had low levels. My levels have increased in accordance with my taking them, which I’m happy with and I do think they are higher quality than others on the market.

What is the correct dosage for this supplement?

1 capsule provides 1000 IU (25 mcg).

The best way to know the right dosage for you is to take a vitamins blood test.

1000UI a day is considered safe and can help correct deficiencies or optimise vitamin D levels. 

Consider taking at least 10mcg a day (400UI) from October-March if you have little sunshine exposure, have a dark skin tone, or cover up most of your skin when outdoors.*
