What the research says about vitamin D3
Educational summaries of published research on vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol); not product-specific claims. CanPrev Vegan D3 Drops' claim is the authorized use under NPN 80104208.
Review: vitamin D's receptor signaling regulates both innate and adaptive immune defenses
A 2026 review described how vitamin D, acting through the vitamin D receptor, helps balance antimicrobial defense and inflammatory suppression by modulating key immune signaling pathways, and summarized clinical translation evidence across several immune-related conditions.
ReviewUpdated meta-analysis: daily vitamin D reduced respiratory infection risk, most clearly in children and adolescents
An updated aggregate-data meta-analysis of 46 randomized trials (75,541 participants) found vitamin D supplementation modestly reduced the risk of acute respiratory infection overall, with protective effects concentrated in daily dosing of 400 to 1,000 IU and in participants aged 1 to 15.99 years at enrolment.
Meta-analysisCochrane review: vitamin D may modestly reduce respiratory infection healthcare visits in young children
A 2026 Cochrane review of 107 randomized trials (31,521 participants) found vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy or early childhood may result in a slight reduction in the proportion of children under five making healthcare visits for acute respiratory infections, though certainty of evidence was low.
Cochrane systematic reviewReview: reindeer lichen is among the richest natural dietary sources of vitamin D
A review of dietary vitamin D sources noted that very few foods are naturally rich in vitamin D, with reindeer lichen (about 87 micrograms per 100 grams) ranking among the highest natural sources identified, alongside fish liver oils and certain mushrooms.
ReviewOrthopaedic review: standard vitamin D3 manufacturing commonly relies on lanolin from sheep's wool
A 2023 review of animal-derived content in common medications noted that conventional cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) manufacture typically involves lanolin from sheep's wool, and highlighted the value of disclosing animal-derived ingredients so patients can make informed choices.
ReviewCross-sectional study: vegan youth had a significantly higher risk of vitamin D deficiency than pescatarians or omnivores
A study of 16 to 24 year olds in Sweden found all dietary groups were at risk of inadequate vitamin D intake, but a significantly higher proportion of vegans had blood levels indicating vitamin D deficiency compared with pescatarians and omnivores.
Cross-sectional studyMontreal study: higher vitamin D status was linked to greater bone mineral content in preschool-aged children
A study of 488 Montreal preschoolers found that children with a vitamin D blood level above 75 nmol/L had significantly higher bone mineral content and density in the forearm and whole body than those with lower levels.
Cross-sectional studyRCT follow-up: 1,000 IU/day vitamin D3 in pregnancy produced higher bone mineral density in children at age 6 to 7
A follow-up of the MAVIDOS randomized controlled trial found that 1,000 IU/day of cholecalciferol taken during pregnancy resulted in significantly higher whole-body bone mineral content, bone mineral density, and lean mass in offspring at ages 6 to 7, compared with placebo.
Human RCT (follow-up)RCT: vitamin D and calcium supplementation improved bone density in vitamin D-insufficient adolescents
A randomized trial in peripubertal adolescents (11 to 19 years) found that among participants with vitamin D insufficiency at baseline, 48 weeks of high-dose vitamin D and calcium supplementation produced significantly higher lumbar spine bone density compared with placebo.
Human RCTRCT follow-up: 1,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 in infancy produced lasting gains in lean body mass
A post-trial follow-up of infants supplemented with 1,000 IU/day versus 400 IU/day of vitamin D3 from 1 to 12 months of age found the higher-dose group maintained significantly greater whole-body lean mass, bone mineral content, weight, and length at 24 months.
Human RCT (follow-up)RCT: pregnancy vitamin D3 supplementation showed no effect on children's bone microarchitecture
A post hoc analysis of the MAVIDOS trial found that while pregnancy vitamin D3 supplementation had previously been shown to raise offspring bone mineral density, it produced no significant differences in the finer bone microarchitecture of children's tibias at age 6 to 7 - a reminder that not every bone outcome responds equally.
Human RCT (post hoc)Study: vitamin D3 supplementation improved bone mass alongside lipid and glucose markers in children with obesity
A study of 723 children with obesity found that vitamin D3 supplementation significantly increased bone mineral density and lowered cholesterol, triglyceride and fasting glucose levels compared with placebo.
Controlled studyRCT: a single dose of vitamin D2 was far less effective than the same dose of vitamin D3
A randomized trial giving healthy adults a single 50,000 IU dose of vitamin D2 or D3 found D3 produced roughly 3 times the total rise in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D over 28 days, with an estimated potency ratio of 9.5 to 1 in favour of D3.
Human RCTRCT: repeated weekly dosing confirmed vitamin D3 is meaningfully more potent than vitamin D2
A 12-week randomized trial giving healthy adults weekly 50,000 IU doses of vitamin D2 or D3 found D3 was approximately 87% more potent at raising and maintaining serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and produced 2 to 3 times greater vitamin D storage in body fat.
Human RCTMeta-analysis: vitamin D3 was consistently more effective than vitamin D2 at improving vitamin D status
A meta-analysis of 24 studies (1,277 participants) found cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) was more efficacious than ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) at raising total 25-hydroxyvitamin D and lowering parathyroid hormone, consistently across different participant demographics, doses, and delivery vehicles.
Meta-analysisMeta-analysis: vitamin D supplementation had a small positive effect on global muscle strength
A meta-analysis of 30 randomized trials (5,615 participants) found a small but statistically significant improvement in global muscle strength with vitamin D supplementation, with a more pronounced effect in adults 65 and older and those with lower baseline vitamin D status.
Meta-analysisMeta-analysis: a vitamin D metabolite improved gait speed, grip strength and leg extension
A meta-analysis of 7 randomized trials found that calcifediol, a vitamin D metabolite more potent than cholecalciferol at raising blood vitamin D levels, significantly improved gait speed, handgrip strength, and leg extension versus baseline.
Meta-analysisMeta-analysis: vitamin D supplementation showed no significant effect on strength or power in athletes
A meta-analysis of 11 randomized trials in 436 athletes found no statistically significant effect of vitamin D supplementation on maximal muscle strength or power, highlighting that benefits seen in older or deficient populations may not extend to already active, healthy athletes.
Meta-analysisScoping review: winter season and maternal risk factors reduce vitamin D transfer to newborns
A scoping review of maternal risk factors for newborn vitamin D status found that winter season, darker skin pigmentation, obesity, lower socioeconomic status and smoking were consistently linked to lower maternal-to-fetal vitamin D transfer, with a focus on studies from Canada and the United States.
Scoping reviewReview: Canada's northern latitude limits vitamin D synthesis for much of the year
A review on vitamin D adequacy in Canada noted that the country's northern latitude prevents sufficient vitamin D synthesis from sunlight during fall and winter months, raising concern that many Canadians do not achieve adequate vitamin D status from sun exposure and diet alone.
ReviewVancouver study: most unsupplemented Canadian toddlers had inadequate vitamin D intake
A study of toddlers in Vancouver (49 degrees N) found 92 to 96% of those not taking a vitamin D supplement had inadequate vitamin D intake, and low vitamin D status was significantly more common in winter than summer.
Cohort studyStudy: vitamin D insufficiency affected nearly all Inuit preschoolers in the Canadian Arctic during winter
A survey of Inuit preschoolers across 16 Arctic communities found vitamin D insufficiency in 78.6% during summer, rising to 96.8% in winter, with dietary vitamin D intake and age as the strongest predictors of status.
Cross-sectional studyNew Zealand surveillance study: severe vitamin D deficiency rickets still occurs in children today
A 3-year national surveillance study identified 58 confirmed cases of vitamin D deficiency rickets in New Zealand children under 15, with risk concentrated in children under 3, darker skin pigmentation, and winter/spring presentation.
Prospective surveillance studyReview: high latitude, urban living and ethnicity combine to worsen vitamin D deficiency risk
A review of vitamin D status in higher-latitude countries including Canada described how reduced UVB exposure in winter, urban shading, air pollution and skin pigmentation combine to produce a well-documented vitamin D deficiency epidemic in these populations.
