Vitamin D-5,000 - NSF Certified for Sport - 60 Servings
Vitamin D is foundational for bone density, muscle function, and immune resilience—essentials that active people can't afford to compromise on, especially during low-light months or heavy training cycles. Thorne's NSF Certified formula delivers highly absorbable D3 in a clean, straightforward dose, so you can maintain the nutritional foundation your performance demands.
Thorne Vitamin D-5,000 IU provides a highly absorbed vitamin D3 formula NSF Certified for Sport, making it a trusted option for athletes and active adults looking to support bone integrity, muscle maintenance, and immune function as part of a consistent daily wellness routine.
Thorne’s D-5,000 contains 5,000 IU of high-quality vitamin D3 and is NSF Certified for Sport®. Although it is well known that direct sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, many individuals, especially the elderly, don’t get enough vitamin D from sunlight or from their diet. Be sure you get the vitamin D your body needs with Thorne’s easily absorbed Vitamin D-5,000.
Benefits of Thorne’s Vitamin D-5000:
- Supports healthy teeth and bones*
- Promotes lean muscle mass and helps maintain muscle strength*
- Enhances the absorption and retention of calcium*
- Supports healthy brain function*
- Promotes cardiovascular health and immune function*
- Formulated with vitamin D3, a more potent and better absorbed form than vitamin D2

You could be at a higher risk of a vitamin D deficiency if you:
- Rarely go outdoors, live in the northern latitudes, or have a darker skin tone
- Have limited sun exposure due to your occupation, clothing choices, or engage in indoor athletics rather than outdoor sports
- Regularly wear sunscreen with an SPF greater than 8
- Are an older adult (the risk of a deficiency increases with age beginning at age 50)
- Have a chronic health condition, such as a bowel disease or a surgical procedure (like gastric bypass) that decreases fat absorption
- Are obese
The optimal amount of vitamin D for an individual depends on many factors and varies from person to person. Therefore, the requirement for vitamin D supplementation should be individualized. Either of Thorne’s D-1,000 or D-5,000 can be an ideal way to maintain an optimal level of vitamin D in healthy individuals.*

Who Thorne Vitamin D-5,000 Is Built For
- Indoor and low-sun-exposure athletes: Those who train indoors or live at northern latitudes often have limited sunlight-driven D3 synthesis, making a high-potency supplement a practical addition to their routine.
- Competitive and tested athletes: The NSF Certified for Sport designation means the product has been independently tested for banned substances, supporting confidence for those subject to sport drug-testing protocols.
- Adults focused on bone and muscle health: The formula supports healthy teeth, bones, and lean muscle maintenance, and it enhances calcium absorption and retention.
- Those seeking a clean formulation: Free from lactose and common preservatives such as BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid, it suits individuals who prioritize minimal-additive supplements.
Frequently Asked Questions

Thorne uses vitamin D3, which is considered more potent and better absorbed than vitamin D2. The formula is also NSF Certified for Sport, meaning it has been independently tested and verified for purity and label accuracy.
Is Thorne Vitamin D-5,000 safe for competitive athletes subject to drug testing?
The product carries the NSF Certified for Sport certification, an independent third-party program widely recognized for verifying that supplements are free from substances prohibited in sport.

Who is most likely to benefit from adding a vitamin D supplement to their routine?
According to Thorne, individuals who spend limited time outdoors, live in northern latitudes, regularly use high-SPF sunscreen, or train primarily indoors may not obtain sufficient vitamin D from sunlight or diet alone.
