ethyos - Vitamin D3 Vegan 50 µg
What this product is for
This supplement provides vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in a vegan capsule for simple daily use. Vitamin D is commonly used to support bone and immune-related nutritional needs. The formula is intentionally minimal, with only a carrier (rice flour) and a vegetable capsule shell.
Bone-focused vitamin D support
Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones by supporting the body’s use of calcium. A consistent daily intake can be helpful when sun exposure is limited or dietary vitamin D is low. Each serving provides 50 µg of vitamin D3.
Immune function as part of everyday wellness
Vitamin D3 supports normal immune system function, making it a common choice for seasonal routines. It is designed to complement a balanced diet rather than replace it. The single-nutrient approach keeps the purpose clear and easy to combine with other supplements if needed.
Muscle function and daily activity
Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function, which can be relevant for maintaining everyday mobility and training consistency. This product can fit into morning or evening routines depending on preference. Because it is a single active, it is straightforward to align with personal intake targets.
Simple formula and ingredient roles
Cholecalciferol is the active ingredient providing vitamin D3. Rice flour is included as a carrier to help with capsule fill and consistency. The transparent vegetable capsule (size 0) provides a plant-based shell for the ingredients.
How it fits with other nutrients
Vitamin D is often paired in diets with calcium and magnesium, which are also involved in bone and muscle physiology. This product does not include additional vitamins or minerals, allowing flexible combination with other supplements. For best results, use consistently and follow the recommended daily intake.

|---|---|
| Thiazide diuretics – Medium Risk | Thiazides can reduce calcium excretion, and combined use with vitamin D may increase the chance of elevated calcium. |
| Digoxin/cardiac glycosides – High Risk | Changes in calcium levels can affect digoxin safety, so vitamin D use should be discussed with a clinician. |
| Orlistat – Medium Risk | Orlistat can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D. |
