Vitamin D in oil has better absorption
Supplements with vitamin D in oil are absorbed more easily by the body than those in powder or ethanol form, according to American researchers. The Bio-Vitamin D3 800IU D-Pearls supplement from Pharma Nord uses oil for this exact reason.
More and more people are taking a daily supplement of vitamin D, a nutrient that is touted for its huge impact on human health. They may be doing themselves a favour by choosing a supplement with vitamin D in oil, as this appears to increase the absorption of the vitamin.
Better absorption in oil
According to American scientists who have reviewed four clinical studies of different vitamin D formulations, supplements that use oil as a transport vehicle have better bio-availability than products that use powder or ethanol. Their research is published ahead of print in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research.

MultiVits is evolving! We now aim to bring you the latest news and research as soon as it’s on our radar. We want you to be able to learn more about the world of vitamins, supplements and nutrition in order to make informed choices. We hope this will bring you closer to making a genuine change to your health and well-being.
There are thousands of studies taking place worldwide, all of which aim to examine the impact of key nutrients on our health. The results can be baffling and complex, but the more we explore, the more we can build a picture of which nutrients are truly the most important to supplement in our diet.
As far as we’re concerned, there are some obvious choices for everyone. For example, the evidence supporting increased intake of vitamin D3 and omega-3 is overwhelming, yet many of us still remain unsure about quality and quantity. Due to the vast range of supplements on the market and the worrying variations in quality and efficacy, we’re not surprised that many people don’t know which buy.
It may be helpful to know that if you choose supplements from Pharma Nord, you are guaranteed pharmaceutical quality and bio-availability. Pharma Nord have to meet stringent Danish pharmaceutical standards before they can market their Bio Series products. These standards ensure you get the correct quantity of active ingredients as shown on the box and that they will be adequately absorbed by your body. This is way beyond Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, although Pharma Nord do adhere to those rules to!
It’s obvious we have a passion for Pharma Nord’s products, but that’s because we will only sell supplements that have proven bio-availability. We will not sell all brands of vitamins just because they’re popular. They must be effective! Why else would you take them?
