Shield Vitamins™ Vitamin D3 Gummies, 5000 IU

Thanks for asking! We are a lifestyle brand founded by Dr. Geoffrey Mount Varner, MD, a Harvard-educated Master of Public Health and board-certified ER doctor in Washington DC. After serving on the front lines of some of the nation’s most dramatic public health crises, Dr. Geoffrey was inspired to find easier and more sustainable ways to support a vibrant lifestyle. Shield Vitamins is the result!

In the majority of cases, these ingredients provide noticeable benefits over time.† All the ingredients you see above have been studied rigorously for many years, and many of them have been used in traditional medicine for hundreds or even thousands of years. Research (including clinical trials) overwhelmingly supports the use of these ingredients to help strengthen your immune system, which usually leads to fewer, less severe, and more short-lived infections.† Compared to drugs, supplements tend to provide more holistic wellness support that builds more gradually and often lasts longer.†

According to the American Association of Endocrinologists amounts above 10,000 IU or 3000mcg of Vitamin D and 2,000mg of Vitamin C are not recommended. The combined values of Vitamin C (390mg) and D (140mcg) in the Immunity-Optimizing Vitamin Kit is ideal, safe, and acceptable.

According to the American Endocrinology Association, a  daily vitamin D supplementation of over 10,000 IU ( or 3000 mcg) may be harmful. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that it takes days to take effect and days to clear through the body.

Our Vitamin D3 gummies are not vegan.

Exactly! That’s the magical result of combining the convenient gummy form with bright natural colors and mouth watering natural fruit flavors. Gummies allow your system to absorb even more of the beneficial ingredients than tablets do, so they can work even better.‡ Plus, our gummies are gluten-free, non-GMO, and gelatin-free—and they won’t stick to your teeth!
