LipoMicel is the Natural Factors name for its delivery format: the vitamin is mixed with flaxseed oil and MCTs into a liquid that forms very small droplets, or micelles, when it meets water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe softgel shell is gelatin, glycerine and purified water. Xylitol, MSM and a little alkalized cocoa powder are also listed, which is why the label says the softgel may be chewed. There are no artificial preservatives, colours or sweeteners, and the formula is non-GMO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults 18 and over take 1 softgel a day, swallowed or chewed, alongside enough calcium from food or supplements. Ask a health care practitioner before going past 6 months. The label notes that 600 to 800 IU a day is an adequate quantity for most individuals, so ask a practitioner whether a higher amount is right for you. Do not use it if you have high blood or urine calcium. Ask first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take prescription medicines or already take vitamin D. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a bottle lasts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt one softgel a day, the 90 count lasts three months, a convenient length for a winter season.

The 90 count is also the easiest size to try first, before moving up to the 180 or 360 count once you know you like the softgel. Because it can be chewed, it is a good option for anyone who dislikes swallowing capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
