Is nano-emulsion Vitamin D3 a more advanced form of Vitamin D3 supplementation?

Most Vitamin D supplements — tablets, capsules, and sachets — use conventional fat-soluble formulations. Because Vitamin D is fat-soluble, it doesn’t dissolve easily in the watery environment of the digestive tract, which can affect how well it’s absorbed.

That’s where nano-emulsion technology comes in.

By breaking Vitamin D3 into extremely small, uniform droplets, nano-emulsions help it disperse more effectively in digestive fluids. This supports greater absorption, a faster therapeutic response, and more reliable daily use.

First Guard™ Vitamin D3 uses NanoXome™ technology, a unique delivery system backed by science, designed to enhance how the body absorbs and utilises Vitamin D3.

Vitamin D – The Underrated Vitamin

Vitamin D is essential for health, yet deficiency is widespread — even in countries with abundant sunlight. Although we get some Vitamin D from foods, most of it is produced in the skin through sun exposure, and dietary intake alone is often too low.

Both Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) are used in supplements, but research shows that Vitamin D3 is significantly more effective at raising and maintaining healthy vitamin D levels. Studies consistently demonstrate that D3 outperforms D2 in improving vitamin D status, making it the preferred choice for supplementation.

Supporting optimal Vitamin D levels is vital for bone health, immunity, metabolic health, and overall wellbeing — making effective supplementation more important than ever.
