Vitamin D Boost

Vitamin D Boost is a vitamin spray that delivers vitamin D to your bloodstream quicker than other traditional vitamin D supplements. Whereas vitamin D tablets need to pass through your digestive system before they can be absorbed into your blood, vitamin D Boost is absorbed more rapidly into the bloodstream when it’s sprayed on the inside of your cheek. This helps to ensure optimal vitamin D delivery and allows you to enjoy taking a vitamin D supplement without needing to swallow big pills.

When you use Vitamin D Boost for the first time, you may need to press the pump a few times to get the liquid flowing. Once you have done this:

1. Shake the bottle.
2. Spray Vitamin D Boost once onto the inside of your cheek and keep it there for a few seconds. One spray delivers 1000IU vitamin D.
3. Replace cap after use.

You can take vitamin D Boost at any time of the day, with or without food.

Always read the instructions and Safety Information Page provided with your Vitamin D Boost to ensure you use it safely and effectively.

To see the exact effect Vitamin D Boost has on your vitamin D levels, you can measure your vitamin D levels with a Vitamin D Test Kit.

The Vitamin D Test Kit is a home blood test that can tell you what your current vitamin D levels are without you needing to see a doctor in person. It also comes with a free review from a clinician who can help you understand your results and give you advice about how to manage your vitamin D levels.

Public Health England (PHE) recommends that everyone considers taking a daily 400IU (10mg) vitamin D supplement in autumn and winter, as there tends to be less sunlight during these months. According to PHE, products providing up to 25 micrograms (1000 IU) are suitable for everyone.

They also recommend that certain people (who are at greater risk of having low vitamin D) consider taking a vitamin D supplement all year round. These people include:

• Those who spend a lot of time indoors.
• Older people.
• Those with darker skin.
• Those who cover most of their skin when outside.

One spray of Vitamin D Boost contains enough vitamin D to meet Public Health England’s daily recommended amount.

Vitamin D toxicity is very rare and only occurs with excessive vitamin D supplementation. The daily upper limit for vitamin D supplementation is 4000IU.

One spray of Vitamin D Boost contains 1000IU vitamin D, which means it’s highly unlikely to cause vitamin D toxicity if taken correctly.

However, if you do take too much vitamin D, signs of toxicity include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Poor appetite
• Constipation
• Weakness
• Weight loss
• Polyuria
• Excessive thirst

Too much vitamin D can also raise blood calcium levels, which may cause confusion, disorientation, and problems with heart rhythm.

If you experience symptoms of vitamin D toxicity, stop taking vitamin D supplements and consult your doctor.

Vitamin D Boost contains vitamin D3, the same active ingredient present in many vitamin D pills. Studies have shown that Vitamin D spray works just as effectively as taking a vitamin D pill.

The main difference is that Vitamin D Boost is sprayed on the inside of the cheek, which allows for faster and more efficient vitamin D absorption.

There are a few advantages to choosing Vitamin D Boost over a vitamin D pill.

First, Vitamin D Boost delivers vitamin D more rapidly to your bloodstream. Vitamin D pills, on the other hand, must first pass through the digestive system - which can affect how well the vitamin D is absorbed.

Second, some people find it easier to use a vitamin D spray than swallow a pill. Pills can be hard to swallow and you may need to take multiple pills to meet the product’s dosage requirements. However, Vitamin D Boost contains 1000IU vitamin D, which means you only need one spray a day to meet your daily intake of vitamin D.

Lastly, Vitamin D Boost is peppermint flavoured. This adds a delicious, refreshing twist to vitamin D supplementation that is rarely found with traditional vitamin D pills.

You can use Vitamin D Boost at any time of the day. However, we recommend that you take it at the same time each day so you get into a routine of taking it.

If you forget to use it one day, don’t double the dose to make up for the one you missed. Instead, use it as normal the following day.

In dietary supplements, vitamin D comes in two forms: vitamin D2 and vitamin D3.

Vitamin D2 is typically made in plants, whereas vitamin D3 is usually made in animals and humans when sunlight makes contact with their skin.

As a result, vegan vitamin D supplements normally contain vitamin D2, and non-vegan vitamin D supplements commonly contain vitamin D3.

Both vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are effective in raising the levels of measurable vitamin D (known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D) in the blood. However, Vitamin D Boost contains vitamin D3 because research has shown that vitamin D3 is more effective at raising measurable vitamin D than vitamin D2.

Taking vitamin D with other medicines

Like most dietary supplements, vitamin D may interact or interfere with other medicines or supplements you might be taking. Some examples include:

• Prednisone and other corticosteroid medicines to reduce inflammation.
• Orlistat (weight-loss drug) and cholestyramine (cholesterol-lowering drug).
• Phenobarbital and Phenytoin (drugs used to control epileptic seizures).
