Nature's Bounty Vitamin D3 50mcg (2000 IU) Rapid Release Softgels (150 Count) is an intermediate-strength, fat-soluble dietary supplement formulated to elevate and maintain optimal Vitamin D levels, protect bone mineral density, and support immune resilience. Key daily physiological functions include:
Skeletal Mineralization: Optimizes the active transport and intestinal absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus, preserving strong bone density and tooth enamel.
Immune Defense Regulation: Serves as a vital cellular modulator that helps activate and regulate white blood cells, strengthening the body’s natural immune response.
Neuromuscular Balance: Supports healthy skeletal muscle tone, strength, and steady nerve transmission to help prevent general physical weakness.
Product Specification
- Pack Size: 150 Rapid Release Softgels (a full 5-month supply).
- Active Ingredient: 50 mcg (2000 IU) of Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol) per single softgel.
- Other Inactive Ingredients: Soybean Oil, Gelatin, Vegetable Glycerin, and Corn Oil.
- Dietary & Allergen Profile: Non-GMO. Completely free from gluten, wheat, dairy, lactose, sugar, starch, yeast, fish, artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners.

How to Use
- Standard Dosage: For adults, take one (1) liquid softgel daily.
- Administration: Swallow the softgel whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, puncture, or dissolve the capsule.
- Timing: Take strictly with or immediately following a meal containing healthy dietary fats (such as avocados, nuts, eggs, or olive oil). Because Vitamin D is fat-soluble, its absorption efficiency is significantly increased when paired with food.
Precautions & Disclaimer
- Daily Safety Thresholds: A 2000 IU daily dose is an effective strength for correcting mild insufficiency. It sits safely below the global Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 4,000 IU, making it highly suitable for long-term daily use without the high toxicity risks associated with mega-doses (like 5,000 or 10,000 IU).
- Drug Interactions: Weight-loss medications (like Orlistat) and cholesterol-lowering bile acid sequestrants (like Cholestyramine) can block the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Space these medications at least 4 hours apart from this supplement.
- Medical Clearance: Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking chronic prescription medications (especially cardiac glycosides like Digoxin or thiazide diuretics), or have pre-existing hypercalcemia, severe kidney disease, or kidney stones.
- Storage: Store tightly sealed at standard room temperature (15°C to 30°C). Avoid excess humidity and localized heat to prevent the softgels from melting or sticking together. Keep entirely out of reach of children.
