Vitamin D plays an important role throughout life, beginning with fetal development. Unlike many vitamin D supplements, Thorne’s contain no lactose or preservatives (BHA, BHT, sodium benzoate, etc). 

Vitamin D protects a number of important functions in the body.  Although direct sunlight provides natural vitamin D, many individuals of all ages, especially the elderly, do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight and their diet. Vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these situations. However, the powders used in many pre-mixed vitamin D dilutions frequently contain potentially detrimental ingredients such as lactose, as well as preservatives such as BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid. Thorne’s vitamin D is formulated for individuals who are sensitive to those ingredients. 

In the United States, the current recommended daily intake of 800 IUs vitamin D is based on the minimum amount to bone disease. However, an upward revision of this guideline is now being considered in light of current research. This research suggests serum vitamin D levels should be in the range of 32-80 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D.? 

The amount of vitamin D needed to achieve minimum vitamin D sufficiency – generally recognized to be a blood level of 32 ng/mL of 25-hydroxyvitamin D – depends on many factors and varies from individual to individual. Thus, the requirement for vitamin D supplementation should be individualized.
