New Roots Herbal - Vitamin D3 Drops

Product Notes:

New Roots Herbal Vitamin D3 drops can help ensure you won't be deficient in Vitamin D, regardless of diet or the weather, in an extremely efficient manner.

Although we can produce vitamin D ourselves beneath our skin with sufficient exposure to sunlight, it's not always possible to get the requisite amounts (at least 10 to 15 minutes of UV 3 or more intensity at least twice a week to the face, arms, hands, or back), due to factors like season or latitude (there isn't enough UV intensity in Canada from Nov. to Feb.), cloud cover, smog, or the use of sunscreens. And while some foods are fortified with Vitamin D to compensate for that, some are intolerant of or allergic to those foods or avoid them for other reasons (such as vegans).

Of course, there are many types of vitamin D supplements, but many come in the form of pills or capsules, which can be a bother to swallow, every day, which reduces compliance, and which also take a little longer to get absorbed than drops (since they must pass through the digestive system, first).

Oral drops are a great way around that, since the vitamin can enter the bloodstream almost immediately if it's administered sublingually (right under the tongue). But since such a tiny amount is needed - literally, a single drop - a lot of it tends to get wasted, if it uses a dropper bottle as the delivery system (it's very hard to drip only a single drop from the dropper into your mouth with your head tilted back).

So, to ensure that you get the right amount of the right kind of Vitamin D you need each day without wasting any or developing hypercalcemia (building up too much calcium in your blood because of an overabundance of vitamin D), New Roots Herbal has covered all the bases.

First, it uses the preferred form, cholecalciferol, which is able to raise the levels of vitamin D in the blood better than other types.

Second, it suspends the cholecalciferol in a base of MCT oil, which has smaller molecules of fatty acids than other types of oil, to enhance how quickly and completely a fat-soluble nutrient such as vitamin D can get absorbed into the bloodstream to be distributed throughout the body.

Third, it uses an orifice reducer or drip cap on its bottle, which truly can deliver just a single drop at a time, so you really do get 17 months' worth of product for an individual user rather than one you might finish in six because you're taking more than you need and then just excreting most of it.
