Vitamin D

The Essential Sunshine Vitamin, Optimised

Vitamin D is crucial for much more than just bones. It's a key hormone-like vitamin that supports muscle function, a healthy immune system, and overall wellbeing. In the UK, where sunlight is scarce for much of the year, maintaining optimal levels through diet alone is a challenge for almost everyone. Supplementation isn't just a good idea—it's often essential.

ProteinHype's LipoVita D3 + K2 + takes a premium, scientific approach. It combines high-strength Vitamin D3 with its essential partner, Vitamin K2, in an advanced liposomal liquid. This innovative format is designed for superior absorption, ensuring your body gets the maximum benefit from every drop to support your health all year round.

Who Needs a Vitamin D Supplement?

A high-quality Vitamin D supplement is important for nearly everyone in the UK, but it's especially critical for:

• People living in northern climates with limited sun exposure, particularly from October to March.

• Those who spend most of their time indoors or always wear sunscreen outdoors.

• Athletes and active individuals, as Vitamin D plays a vital role in muscle function and recovery.

• Older adults, as the skin's ability to synthesise Vitamin D decreases with age.

• Anyone looking to proactively support their bone density, immune resilience, and overall health.

When & How to Take Vitamin D

Take LipoVita D3 + K2 + daily. Use the dropper to place the liquid directly under your tongue (for sublingual absorption) or mix it into a small amount of water or a cold drink.

Because it's fat-soluble, taking it with a meal containing healthy fats (like avocado, nuts, or olive oil) can further enhance absorption. Consistency is key—make it a daily habit to maintain steady, optimal levels.

Vitamin D Benefits

Supports Bone & Muscle Health

Vitamin D is essential for the normal absorption and use of calcium, which is necessary for maintaining normal bones and teeth. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function, which is vital for strength, performance, and reducing the risk of injury.

Contributes to Normal Immune Function

Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Maintaining healthy levels is a foundational aspect of supporting your body's natural defences throughout the year.

Enhanced with Vitamin K2 (MK-7)

LipoVita includes Vitamin K2 in the premium MK-7 form. K2 works synergistically with Vitamin D by helping direct calcium into your bones and teeth where it's needed, and away from arteries and soft tissues where it can be harmful. It's the perfect partner for D3.

Superior Liposomal Absorption

The liposomal delivery system encapsulates the vitamins in microscopic lipid bubbles. This protects the nutrients, enhances their stability, and is designed to significantly improve their absorption into your bloodstream compared to standard oil-based drops or tablets.

Vitamin D FAQs

Why do I need a Vitamin D supplement in the UK?

Your skin makes Vitamin D from sunlight (UVB rays). In the UK, the sunlight from October to early March isn't strong enough for sufficient production. Even in summer, indoor lifestyles and sunscreen block synthesis. Public Health England recommends everyone consider a daily supplement during autumn and winter, and at-risk groups year-round.

What is the difference between Vitamin D2 and D3?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form produced by your skin and found in animal foods. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) comes from plants. Research consistently shows that D3 is more effective at raising and maintaining Vitamin D levels in the blood, which is why LipoVita uses premium D3.

Why is Vitamin K2 included?

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Vitamin K2 (specifically as MK-7) acts as a "traffic director," ensuring that calcium is deposited into your bones and teeth (where it strengthens them) and not into your arteries or soft tissues (where it can cause harm). Taking them together is a synergistic, smarter approach.

What are liposomal drops and why are they better?

Liposomal means the active ingredients are encapsulated in tiny spheres of phospholipids (fats). This mimics your body's own cell membranes, potentially allowing for much higher absorption rates in the digestive tract. For fat-soluble vitamins like D3 and K2, this advanced delivery system can mean you get more benefit from each dose.

How much Vitamin D should I take?

The UK government recommends 400 IU (10μg) daily for adults. Many experts suggest this is a minimum for preventing deficiency. LipoVita D3 + K2 + provides a higher, maintenance-level dose suitable for optimising health, especially for those with limited sun exposure. The specific IU is clearly listed on the product label.

Can I take too much Vitamin D?

While toxicity is rare, it is possible with extremely high, prolonged doses far exceeding recommendations. Always follow the serving instructions on your supplement. LipoVita provides an effective dose within safe limits. If you have specific health conditions or concerns, consult your doctor.

Is it suitable for vegetarians/vegans?

Standard Vitamin D3 is typically derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), making it vegetarian but not vegan. Please check the LipoVita D3 + K2 + label for the most accurate and current sourcing information to confirm if it aligns with your dietary preferences.
