Description
Vitamin D 25000iu Calciferol — Bone, Teeth & Muscle Health
This potent Vitamin D3 formula delivers 25,000 IU of Vitamin D per capsule, taken as a weekly bolus dose rather than a small daily amount. This approach mirrors the weekly high-dose protocols commonly used to correct low Vitamin D levels, since Vitamin D is fat-soluble and stored in the body, allowing periodic higher doses to maintain levels effectively between doses.
Halaal certified. Made in South Africa. 8 gelatin-free veggie capsules.

A Note on Dosing
At 2 capsules weekly, this product provides 50,000 IU of Vitamin D per week — a recognised approach for correcting low Vitamin D levels, and one commonly used under medical guidance. This is a considerably higher single dose than the general daily upper intake guidance of 4,000 IU/day, though weekly bolus dosing works differently from daily intake because Vitamin D is stored and released gradually in the body. If you’re using this product on an ongoing basis rather than for a short, targeted period, we’d recommend having your Vitamin D levels checked periodically by a healthcare provider to confirm the dose still suits your needs.
Key Benefits
- Bone health — Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone mineralisation
- Muscle function — Vitamin D receptors are present in muscle tissue, and adequate levels are linked to normal muscle function
- Teeth & skeletal health — supports the calcium-dependent structures throughout the body
- Convenient weekly dosing — a once-weekly bolus is easier to remember consistently than a small daily dose, while still maintaining Vitamin D levels between doses
How to use
Take 2 capsules once weekly, or as directed by your medical practitioner. Consider having your Vitamin D levels tested before starting and periodically during ongoing use, particularly if using this product for longer than a few months.
Who it’s for
Adults with low or insufficient Vitamin D levels, or those with limited sun exposure, looking for a convenient weekly dosing option. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If pregnant, breastfeeding, or on chronic medication, consult your healthcare provider before use, and ideally confirm your Vitamin D levels before starting a high-dose regimen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this taken weekly instead of daily?
Vitamin D is fat-soluble and stored in the body’s fat tissue, allowing it to be released gradually. A weekly bolus dose is a recognised, convenient way to maintain adequate levels compared to a small daily dose, and is commonly used in medical practice to correct deficiency.
Is 50,000 IU per week too much Vitamin D?
This is a commonly used dose for correcting low Vitamin D levels under medical guidance. It’s considerably higher than general daily intake guidance, but weekly bolus dosing is metabolised differently than daily intake. If using this long-term, periodic blood testing helps confirm the dose remains appropriate for you.
Should I get my Vitamin D levels tested before taking this?
It’s a good idea, particularly if you plan to use this for an extended period. This helps confirm whether you have a genuine deficiency and allows you to track your levels over time.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. The capsules are gelatin-free veggie capsules.
Is this product Halaal certified?
Yes, it’s Halaal certified.
