Watsonville, CA (January 23, 2013) What’s the easiest, tastiest, and most delightful way to get your vitamin D? Nordic Naturals introduces Vitamin D3 Gummies, the delicious, chewable, wild berry gummy that provides 1,000 I.U. of vitamin D in each serving and is sourced from cholecalciferol, the natural form of vitamin D preferred for optimal absorption. The pectin-based product is gelatin free and does not contain artificial coloring, flavoring, or preservatives.

Research shows that vitamin D performs a variety of functions in optimizing health. It promotes the body’s absorption of calcium and phosphorous, minerals that are critical for bone health. Vitamin D also supports the immune system, and the hormones that regulate mood and sleep. Experts recommend 1000 I.U. of vitamin D a day and each Nordic Naturals Vitamin D3 Gummy fulfills this recommendation – easily, naturally, and deliciously.

With this new product introduction, Nordic Naturals now offers three convenient vitamin D3 products: Nordic Vitamin D3™ (120 soft gels), Vitamin D3 Vegan (1 oz liquid), and Vitamin D3 Gummies (60 gummies).

“With recent research suggesting that many Americans – both adults and children – are not getting enough of this crucial micronutrient due to either limited intake from food sources or from lack of sun exposure, the importance of vitamin D cannot be overlooked,” notes Keri Marshall, MS, ND, Nordic Naturals Chief Medical Officer. “During the cold and dark winter months, I often see seasonal strain in my patients, especially regarding the immune and nervous systems that could be potentially relieved by supplementation of vitamin D. As a company, we have committed to making vitamin D3 available as a stand-alone vitamin supplement, as well as offering added vitamin D3 in many of our fish oil products to alleviate this deficiency. ”
