Pharmacist FAQs Answered
Why go for a vegan vitamin D spray?
Most common vitamin D supplements include D3 from animal sources, typically lanolin (sheep wool fat). BetterYou DLux Vegan utilizes a D3 from a plant source, so it's vegan-friendly and is for those who wish to avoid animal products for dietary, ethical, or religious purposes. This is handy as D3 (cholecalciferol) is more efficient at increasing vitamin D levels than D2 (ergocalciferol), which tends to be the plant-based counterpart.
In what way are the spray and tablets or capsules different?
The spray delivers a soft spray of vitamin D into the soft tissue in your mouth. It's then absorbed directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your gut. That makes it a good option for those with digestive issues, swallowing difficulties or those who don't. Don't don't eat food or water. It's also convenient for busy mornings.
How much vitamin D do I need?
In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service recommends adults and those over 4 years take a daily vitamin D supplement of 10 micrograms (400 IU), especially from October to March when sunshine is minimal. DLux Vegan 1000IU delivers 25 micrograms of vitamin D3 per spray—well above the minimum required but safely below the maximum daily limit for many adults at 100 micrograms (4000 IU).
Higher concentrated doses like this are beneficial for individuals who:
- Get little to no sun exposure
- Have darker skin (which makes it harder to produce vitamin D)
- Cover most of their skin when outdoors
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding (but always first consult with a health practitioner)
- Have been instructed by their doctor to boost their vitamin D levels
Is daily safe to take?
Yes, this spray is designed for daily Use. It’s best taken at the same time each day to build a routine—many people find it easiest to take it in the morning. One spray provides your full daily dose. Avoid taking more than one spray a day unless advised by your doctor.
Can it be used with other supplements?
It's generally safe to take this spray with a multivitamin or other supplements. But if your other supplements also contain vitamin D, look on the label, so don't use too much of the safe daily amount (100 micrograms)you're unsure of. Your rheumatologist should be able to check your supplements for you.
What happens if I miss a day?
If you miss a, don't worry - just your usual amount the next day - no need to double it. Vitamin D is stored in the body, so it matters more that you take it regularly over some time than that you take it at the same time every single day.
Is the packaging more eco-friendly?
Yes, BetterYou has committed to utilising Ocean Waste Plastic packaging, which helps minimise plastic pollution by upcycling waste gathered from coastlines. This is just one way they are working towards making supplements more environmentally friendly - an excellent option for those looking to leave less of a mark on the world.
When should I talk to my pharmacist or doctor?
Discuss with a healthcare professional if you're unsure what you need for vitamin D
- You have a medical condition that affects your kidneys, liver, bones, or how your body absorbs nutrients.
- You're prescribed medication, especially for epilepsy, steroids, or diseases affecting calcium.
- You've been told to have a higher dose (e.g., for deficiency or osteoporosis)
