Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c by Metabolic Maintenance – Bone Support Vitamin D3 Capsules
Vitamin D3 5,000 IU capsules by Metabolic Maintenance pair a concentrated serving of cholecalciferol with vitamin C in a vegetarian cellulose capsule. Each capsule supplies 125 mcg vitamin D3 and 300 mg vitamin C, making this a two-vitamin formula rather than a vitamin D-only supplement.
The 90-capsule bottle suits a professionally guided vitamin D plan. Its higher strength matters: 5,000 IU exceeds the adult daily upper intake level of 4,000 IU, so this is not an automatic everyday choice for everyone. The label recommends physician monitoring of vitamin D levels.
Key Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c Benefits
- Supports calcium absorption, helping the body use dietary calcium as part of normal bone mineral maintenance.
- Provides vitamin D for bone health and normal muscle function within a balanced nutritional plan.
- Supplies vitamin C for collagen formation, supporting the connective tissue framework found in bones and skin.
- Contributes to antioxidant support through vitamin C's normal role in protecting cells from oxidative stress.
How Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c Works
After absorption, the body converts cholecalciferol through steps in the liver and kidneys into its active hormonal form. That active vitamin D helps regulate how much calcium moves from the intestine into the bloodstream. This supports bone mineralization; the capsule itself does not supply calcium or replace calcium-containing foods.
Vitamin C serves a different purpose. It helps enzymes build stable collagen and participates in the body's antioxidant network. Pairing these nutrients supplies complementary nutritional functions, not a guarantee that a higher vitamin D intake will produce greater benefits.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin D3: Supports the intestinal handling of calcium after the body converts it to an active form. This helps make dietary calcium available for normal bone mineralization. Its established nutritional role explains the formula's bone-support focus, while individual vitamin D needs determine whether this strength is appropriate.
- Vitamin C: Provides ascorbic acid, which helps collagen-building enzymes function and donates electrons within the antioxidant network. Collagen supplies a structural framework for connective tissues, including bone. These functions complement vitamin D's role in mineral handling without making vitamin C a substitute for calcium.
Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c Is Formulated For
- Adults whose healthcare professional has specifically recommended a higher-strength vitamin D supplement with monitoring.
- People seeking a capsule combining vitamin D3 with vitamin C, rather than a calcium supplement or a multivitamin.

Additional precautions: Each capsule contains 5,000 IU vitamin D, above the adult daily upper intake level of 4,000 IU; use this strength only with professional guidance. Excess vitamin D can raise blood calcium and cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, excessive thirst, frequent urination or kidney problems. Review calcium and other vitamin D supplements to avoid excess. Discuss thiazide diuretics, orlistat, steroids and statins with your prescriber. Vitamin C can cause diarrhea, nausea or abdominal cramps, especially at higher total intakes. Seek medical guidance if you have kidney disease, a history of kidney stones, high blood calcium or iron overload, or receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Vitamin C may interact with combined niacin/statin therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c
What are the benefits of Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c?
This Metabolic Maintenance formula supplies vitamin D3 for calcium absorption, normal bone mineralization and muscle function. Its 300 mg of vitamin C also supports collagen formation and the body's antioxidant network. Those are distinct nutritional roles: vitamin D helps the body handle calcium, while vitamin C helps maintain connective tissue structure. The capsule contains no calcium, so calcium intake still comes from food or a separately recommended supplement. The 5,000 IU strength should match a healthcare professional's recommendation.
Who should take Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c?
This higher-strength product is an option for adults whose healthcare professional has recommended 5,000 IU of vitamin D with monitoring. It is not a default starting strength for everyone, because each capsule exceeds the adult daily upper intake level of 4,000 IU. Each serving also includes 300 mg vitamin C. The label directs one capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Pregnant or lactating women must consult their healthcare professional before taking it.
Are there any side effects of taking Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c?
Excess vitamin D can raise blood calcium, causing nausea, thirst or kidney problems; vitamin C can cause diarrhea or cramps. Caution: Pregnant or lactating women, consult your healthcare professional before taking this product. Physician monitoring of vitamin D level recommended. Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Review thiazides, orlistat, steroids, statins and niacin/statin therapy with your prescriber. Get professional guidance for kidney disease, kidney stones, high calcium, iron overload, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This 5,000 IU capsule exceeds the adult 4,000 IU daily upper intake level; avoid unsupervised stacking with other vitamin D products.
How does Vitamin D-3 [5,000 IU] 90c support overall health?
Vitamin D3 contributes to normal calcium handling, which links dietary mineral intake with bone maintenance and normal muscle function. Vitamin C adds a separate contribution through collagen-building enzymes and antioxidant activity. Together, the two vitamins supply targeted nutritional support rather than the broad nutrient coverage of a multivitamin. Adequate food intake remains important, especially calcium-containing foods. With this concentrated vitamin D strength, professional monitoring and a review of all supplement sources help keep the plan appropriate to your needs.
