Why use PEG's which a lot of people have allergies to? This seemed like such a good, natural product - until I noticed the use of polyethylene glycol, I have now been put off :(
Hey, so we have to use Polyethylene Glycol to stabilise the Calcifediol. It's an exteremely small amount that is just a coating over the tablet. It's not a massive amount, but we have had to do this in order to stabilise the tablet during transportation and for safety. We are working on a new formulation without the PEG's soon.

How many capsules a day and how long do you take it for.
Hi there, we recommend 2 x tablets daily.
However, you have to remember if you stood in the sun between 10-20 minutes (depending on the skin colour). You can absorb anything between 10,000 i.u. - 20,000 i.u. through the skin. -
Is this the same D3 as the calcifediolo gel tablets you can buy in Spain and Italy that are 0.266mg. I.E. do your tablets do the same job by getting the active D3 into your system within 2 hours? (But obviously at a lower dose 10mcg, compared to 266mcg) Thanks
Yes VitamoreD is Vitamin D as Calcifediol which is the hydroxylated form and increases vitamin D levels 3.2 x more quickly.
-
Is this activated form of vit d produced by liver-calcifediol?
Yes, this is Calcifediol that is produced when the liver hydroxylates the Cholecalciferol and converts it into Calcifediol.

Hello. The supplement says 10mcg of vit D 2000iu. But one of these numbers is wrong. As 10mcg of Vitamin D is only 400iu. So which number is correct?
10 mcg of Cholecalciferol = 400 i.u. because of the form of Vitamin D being the unactivated form Cholechalciferol that needs to be processed to become Calcifediol, and then be processed by the kidneys to become Calcitriol the active form of Vitamin D where you feel the benefits.Calcifediol is the hydroxylated form of vitamin D which is 5 x more activated there for 10 mcg = 2000 i.u. -
So you ship to the UK?
We ship from within the UK and the product is UK based and produced.
-
Do you need to consume your Vitamin D with fat?
Nope, not at all. As the form is bound to vitamin D binding proteins in the body and transported into the kidneys where it is hydroxylated to become Calcitriol and does not rely on fat to be absorbed.
We delivered a presentation on vitamin D which you maybe interested in on our YouTube Channel: How to Optimise Your Vitamin D -
I read k2 with vit d3 is possibly good to stave off dementia I have generic predisposition to late onset Alzheimer’s which is freaking me out . So this vit d of yours does not require k2 as most other vit d products do for efficacy but I maybe still need to take k2 supplement as well as your vit d for the benefits? . Not sure if you know the answer to this . Thanks
Hi Kate, yep that is correct. You see VitamoreD is Calcifediol which enters directly into the gut and goes straight into the kidneys where it increases the vitamin D levels 3.2 x faster as it is able to convert to calcitriol (active form of vitamin D) quickly without the need for cofactors.
Yep, there is a lot of research around k2 and it's protective affects against calcification in particular with neurodegnetarive disesase.
We did a webinar on vitamin D if you would be interested in listening too: https://youtu.be/i-rO2BkULdw?si=OmRS-wnWJL5RilH2
