- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- Where can I buy Healthspan Elite 1,000 IU D3?
- Healthspan direct lists at £12.99 and Amazon UK at £14.99 — pricing is close enough that retailer preference probably matters more than the small price gap.
- Is 1,000 IU enough for daily use?
- 1,000 IU sits in the everyday-maintenance range that aligns with NHS guidance for adults during autumn-winter. Higher-strength options like the 4,000 IU variant exist if your GP has advised more.
- What does Healthspan Elite mean?
- Healthspan Elite is the Informed Sport-certified sub-range from UK supplement brand Healthspan. Each batch is screened against the banned-substance list before release.
- How does this compare to the 4,000 IU variant?
- Same brand, same Informed Sport-tested status, four times the per-tablet D3 dose. People with deficiency or who supplement year-round sometimes prefer the 4,000 IU; the 1,000 IU is closer to general NHS guidance.
- When should I take vitamin D3?
- D3 is fat-soluble and absorbs better with a meal containing fat. Time of day matters less than co-ingestion with fat.
