D3-3000 IU Gold

It is vital that athletes consume enough vitamin D. Vitamin D actually helps you stay strong and fit. This is because vitamin D plays a significant role in retaining strong muscles and bones. Vitamin D also supports your immune system, which is extremely important for athletes. You want your immune system to function perfectly, certainly during intensive training or competition periods.

High dose vitamin D

D3-3000 IU Gold provides an extra high dose. Per capsule this supplement contains 75mcg (3000 IU) of vitamin D3. This high dose is ideal for athletes with increased vitamin D requirements. Vitamin D supplements are an ideal way to consume more vitamin D. This is particularly interesting in the darker autumn and winter months, as your body produces less vitamin D in these periods. Vitamin D is actually produced in your skin when exposed to the sun. This is usually enough in the spring and summer, but in autumn and winter it often isn’t.

When to choose a high dose vitamin D?

It can sometimes be difficult to decide whether it’s better to take a low or high dose vitamin D. In many cases a daily intake of 600 IU vitamin D will be enough to maintain good levels. That’s why Virtuoos also has D3-600 IU Gold in its range. However, athletes often go for a high dose vitamin D supplement. The reason for this is that many athletes notice that they need more vitamin D. Vitamin D levels are determined via a blood test, in which vitamin D levels in the blood of between 75 – 120 nmol/l are generally considered as being optimal. If vitamin D levels in the blood are lower, a vitamin D supplement can be used.

High dose vitamin D is interesting for:

• People with low vitamin D levels (determined via a blood test)
• Athletes with an increased requirement
• When there is insufficient exposure to sunlight, for example athletes who train indoors. If you are not outside daily for 30 minutes with your hands and face uncovered.
• People with a darker skin colour, particularly in the autumn and winter months.
