About Cataplex® D By Standard Process

Cataplex® D is a vitamin D supplement providing 40 mcg (1,600 IU) of vitamin D that supports the immune system, bone health, and mineral absorption.*

Vitamin D is a micronutrient that helps your body absorb calcium, which is needed for bone health. It also assists your body’s immune system.

I really like the Standard Process line of supplements and was happy to fond another source. I ahve used these as a vitamin D source for years. They are formulated from real natural sources, leading to a lower by more absorbable source for vitamin D.
