Why Vitamin D3? The Gold Standard for Absorption & Efficacy
Not all vitamin D is created equal—and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) stands out as the body’s preferred form. Unlike vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which is often derived from plant sources and has lower bioavailability, D3 is the same form your skin produces when exposed to sunlight. This similarity makes itmore potent and better absorbedby the body, ensuring it efficiently raises and maintains healthy vitamin D levels. For anyone struggling to get enough sun or dietary vitamin D, Thorne’s D-5,000 leverages this superior form to deliver results you can trust.
