Testimonials
"My rheumatologist recommended that I increase vitamin D3 intake to 2000 IU a day. In addition to my daily multivitamin (500 IU of D3) and Wellesse calcium (which contains 500 IU of D3), I am taking 1,000 IU of Wellesse Vitamin D3 liquid supplement (a total of 2000 IU per day). My blood test from April shows vitamin D3 level at 34; my next test is scheduled for early January 2009. So, this time of year any increase in my vitamin D3 level will be due to the supplement, not other factors. Since I increased my calcium and vitamin D3 I am already feeling better. Thank you, Wellesse!"

Q: Why should I take Vitamin D3?
A: New research has revealed that as many as 50% of Americans are not getting enough vitamin D. It is very difficult to get enough from diet alone unless you eat a lot of fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel or herring or take cod liver oil. Vitamin D plays many crucial roles in our bodies: it helps promote calcium absorption for bone and teeth health and helps regulate white blood cells for immune system support. Absorbing enough vitamin D from sun alone may be difficult especially if you have darker skin, are older, live in a northern climate, wear sunscreen, work or stay indoors, are obese, or have trouble absorbing fats. People who have a healthy lifestyle, but avoid or limit their dairy intake (such as vegetarians) may also not be getting enough vitamin D.

Q: Why take a liquid vitamin D?
A: Research has shown that nutrients from liquid sources can be more easily absorbed than from solids. Plus, it is easy to take, especially for young children or adults who do not like to swallow large pills.
Back to top
Q: What is the better form of vitamin D?
A: D3 is the preferable form over D2 because of its high level of biologic activity. It is a naturally occurring form of vitamin D that is made when your skin is exposed to sunlight.
Back to top
Q: Is it safe for infants and children under 4?
A: Before giving a vitamin D supplement to your child, consult your pediatrician. Because mother’s milk may not have enough vitamin D, infants who are exclusively breast fed may need to supplement with vitamin D. Nursing mothers should ask their doctor how much vitamin D they need to take. Many children who are protected with sunscreen while outdoors may not be making enough Vitamin D through their skin. The American Academy of Pediatrics, AAP, recently increased their recommendation from 200 IU to 400 IU of vitamin D daily for infants, children and adolescents.
Back to top
Q: What if I take other supplements with vitamin D in it already? How much can I have per day?
A: If you are taking other supplements containing vitamin D, you will need to adjust the dosage accordingly to get the right amount. It is best to check with your doctor to find out how much vitamin D you need each day.
According to Office of Dietary Supplements, the tolerable upper levels (ULs) is currently set at 2,000 IU for ages one and up, but studies have shown that an adult would need to take more than 10,000 IU per day over an extended period of time for toxicity to occur.

If you are pregnant or lactating or have a known medical condition and/or are taking medications you should consult with a healthcare practitioner before taking dietary supplements. Back to top
Q: What is the source of the Vitamin D3?
A: Vitamin D is derived from lanolin found in sheep’s wool.
Back to top
Q: Is it good for children?
A: Wellesse Vitamin D3 liquid is formulated for the whole family, ages 4 & up. It may be a great supplement alternative for children who do not go outside often, do not eat or drink dairy, or who wear sunscreen when outdoors.
Back to top
Q: I have heard of a test for vitamin D levels in my body, what is it and when should I get tested?
A: To determine if you have enough vitamin D, a doctor will give you a blood calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D) test. The optimal level of blood calcidiol is 35–55 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter). Some medical scientists believe that this level should be slightly higher.
Back to top
Q: What are possible symptoms of low vitamin D levels?
A: Muscular weakness, a feeling of heaviness in the legs, chronic musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, depression, or easy tiring may be symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. Current research has implicated vitamin D deficiency as a factor in the pathology of many chronic illnesses.
Back to top
Q: Why does the Wellesse Vitamin D3 liquid change color over time?
A: Wellesse Vitamin D3 is made with natural colors that can change over time. You may see your product change from light purple to a golden apple juice color. This change does not affect product quality, potency or purity.
Back to top
Q: What is cellulose?
A: Cellulose is a stabilizing and emulsifying agent. It is the component of plant cell walls that gives them rigidity. When used in a liquid, it acts as a thickener and gives the product "body". It is from wood pulp.
Back to top
Q: What signs would a person see if they were ingesting toxic levels of Vitamin D?
A: According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, "Vitamin D toxicity can cause nonspecific symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, and weight loss".
Back to top
Q: Are there any animal products in Wellesse Vitamin D?
A: No, however, vitamin D is derived from the lanolin found in sheep's wool.
Back to top
Q: What if the product freezes?
A: Do not freeze the product intentionally. However, if it does freeze accidentally, it is safe to consume if the bottle and seal is still intact. Leave the bottle at room temperature until completely thawed and then shake vigorously to reincorporate all ingredients. Do not put in hot water or microwave.
