What’s inside

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Liposome Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This liquid product contains 4 active ingredients. Vitamin D3 is the main one — it supports bone health and calcium regulation throughout your body.

Vitamin A helps your eyes, skin, and immune system. Vitamin K is involved in blood clotting and bone metabolism.

Phosphatidylcholine is a fat-like compound that may support liver and brain health. The product also contains inactive ingredients: purified water, glycerin, natural flavors, stevia, and potassium sorbate (a preservative).

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Bone health, immune function, oxidative stress.
  • We looked for evidence on: Fractures, Fall prevention, Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Atopic disease, Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vitamin D is rated "Effective" for Vitamin D deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Likely Effective" for Corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.
  • Also on file: Vitamin D is rated "Possibly Effective" for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Allergic rhinitis (hay fever).

Vitamin D3 is effective for rickets, osteomalacia (soft bones), renal bone disease, hypoparathyroidism, and familial hypophosphatemia — conditions where your body can't regulate calcium and phosphate properly. Vitamin A is effective for vitamin A deficiency and is possibly effective for oral leukoplakia, aging skin, measles, ulcerative colitis, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

Phosphatidylcholine is possibly effective for ulcerative colitis but the evidence is insufficient for fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver disease, Alzheimer disease, and anxiety. Vitamin K is effective for clotting-factor deficiencies and possibly effective for osteoporosis.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Vitamin D3 is generally well tolerated at recommended doses, but very high doses over time can cause toxicity — symptoms include high blood calcium (hypercalcemia) with nausea, weakness, and kidney problems. Vitamin A is also well tolerated at recommended amounts; however, high doses build up in your body and can cause liver damage, headache, dry skin, hair loss, and in severe cases, serious neurological effects.

Vitamin K is generally safe in food and most supplements. For pregnancy, vitamin D3 at recommended amounts is likely safe but should only be used under your doctor's guidance.

Vitamin A presents a mixed picture — dietary and recommended supplement amounts are fine, but high doses as retinol can cause birth defects and should be avoided. Phosphatidylcholine safety beyond food sources in pregnancy and lactation is not well studied — talk to your doctor.

Vitamin K is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

Vitamin D38 drug types · 715 drugs

Aluminum

Vitamin D might increase aluminum absorption and toxicity, but this has only been reported in people with renal failure.
The protein that transports calcium across the intestinal wall can also bind and transport aluminum. This protein is stimulated by vitamin D, which may therefore increase aluminum absorption. This mechanism may contribute to increased aluminum levels and toxicity in people with renal failure, when they take vitamin D and aluminum-containing phosphate binders chronically.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Vitamin D might reduce absorption of atorvastatin.
A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%. However, while atorvastatin levels decreased, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels did not substantially change. Atorvastatin is metabolized in the gut by CYP3A4 enzymes, and researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, causing reduced levels of atorvastatin. However, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Calcipotriene (Dovonex)

Taking calcipotriene with vitamin D increases the risk for hypercalcemia.
Calcipotriene is a vitamin D analog used topically for psoriasis. It can be absorbed in sufficient amounts to cause systemic effects, including hypercalcemia. Theoretically, combining calcipotriene with vitamin D supplements might increase the risk of hypercalcemia.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of arrhythmia from digoxin.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia increases the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias with digoxin. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and digoxin concurrently.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diltiazem (Cardizem, Others)

Theoretically, hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of diltiazem for arrhythmia.
High doses of vitamin D can cause hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Theoretically this could also occur with diltiazem. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and diltiazem concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Thiazide Diuretics

Theoretically, taking thiazide diuretics and high-dose vitamin D can increase the risk of hypercalcemia.
Thiazide diuretics decrease urinary calcium excretion, which could lead to hypercalcemia if vitamin D supplements are taken concurrently. This has been reported in people being treated with vitamin D for hypoparathyroidism, and also in elderly people with normal parathyroid function who were taking a thiazide, vitamin D, and calcium-containing antacids daily.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Verapamil (Calan, Others)

Hypercalcemia induced by high-dose vitamin D can reduce the therapeutic effects of verapamil for arrhythmia.
Hypercalcemia due to high doses of vitamin D can reduce the effectiveness of verapamil in atrial fibrillation. Avoid vitamin D doses above the tolerable upper intake level (4000 IU daily for adults) and monitor serum calcium levels in people taking vitamin D and verapamil concurrently.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Vitamin D might induce CYP3A4 enzymes and reduce the bioavailability of CYP3A4 substrates.
There is some concern that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4. In vitro research suggests that vitamin D induces CYP3A4 transcription. Additionally, observational research has found that increased UV light exposure and serum vitamin D levels are associated with decreased serum levels of CYP3A4 substrates such as tacrolimus and sirolimus, while no association between UV light exposure or vitamin D levels and levels of mycophenolic acid, a non-CYP3A4 substrate, was found. A small, low-quality clinical study shows that taking vitamin D reduces levels of the CYP3A4 substrate atorvastatin and its active metabolites by up to 55%; however, the clinical effects of atorvastatin were not reduced. While researchers theorized that vitamin D might induce CYP3A4, this proposed mechanism was not specifically studied.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Vitamin A4 drug types · 387 drugs

Retinoids

Concomitant use of retinoids with vitamin A supplements might produce supratherapeutic vitamin A levels.
Retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, could have additive toxic effects when taken with vitamin A supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Theoretically, taking high doses of vitamin A in combination with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver disease.
The tolerable upper intake level (UL) is the highest level of intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse effects. Doses of vitamin A above the UL can cause hepatotoxicity, ranging from elevated liver enzymes to liver failure.

Likelihood Possible Evidence C
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, taking tetracycline antibiotics with high doses of vitamin A can increase the risk of pseudotumor cerebri.
Benign intracranial hypertension (pseudotumor cerebri) can occur with tetracyclines and with acute or chronic vitamin A toxicity. Case reports suggest that taking tetracyclines and vitamin A concurrently can increase the risk of this condition. Avoid high doses of vitamin A in people taking tetracyclines chronically.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, high doses of vitamin A could increase the risk of bleeding with warfarin.
Vitamin A toxicity is associated with hemorrhage and hypoprothrombinemia, possibly due to vitamin K antagonism. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid doses of vitamin A above the tolerable upper intake level of 10,000 IU/day for adults.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Vitamin K1 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Vitamin K can antagonize and reverse the therapeutic effects of warfarin.
Vitamin K antagonizes the effects of warfarin. Excessive vitamin K intake, either from supplements or from changes in the diet, can reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.

Liposomal Vitamin D3 by 1st Phorm: Common Questions

Does Liposomal Vitamin D3 by 1st Phorm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Liposomal Vitamin D3 has a known interaction with 945 medications, including 11 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Liposomal Vitamin D3 contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
It depends on the ingredient and dose. Vitamin D3 at recommended amounts is likely safe but use only under your doctor's guidance. Vitamin A at recommended supplement levels is likely safe, but high doses can cause birth defects — stick to dietary amounts unless your doctor directs otherwise. Phosphatidylcholine safety beyond food sources hasn't been well studied in pregnancy. Talk to your doctor before starting, especially if you're already taking prenatal vitamins.
What are the most common side effects?
At recommended doses, vitamin D3, vitamin A, and vitamin K are generally well tolerated. The main risk is from phosphatidylcholine at higher doses — some people report bloating, altered taste, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Very high doses of any ingredient over time can cause problems.
Can I take this if I'm on blood thinners?
Not without checking first. Vitamin K in this product can reduce warfarin's (Coumadin) effectiveness, which is dangerous. If you take warfarin or any blood thinner, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting. They may need to adjust your dose or monitor you more closely.
Does this actually work for bone health?
Vitamin D3 is proven effective for rickets, osteomalacia, and other bone metabolism disorders. Vitamin K is possibly effective for osteoporosis. But this product is not a substitute for treatment prescribed by your doctor — if you have a bone condition, make sure your healthcare provider knows you're taking it.
Is there a risk of vitamin toxicity?
Yes, especially with vitamin A and vitamin D at very high doses over time. Vitamin A toxicity causes liver damage, headache, dry skin, and hair loss. Vitamin D toxicity causes high blood calcium with nausea and kidney issues. Stick to recommended amounts and don't combine this with other vitamin A or D supplements unless your doctor approves it.
What is phosphatidylcholine for?
Phosphatidylcholine is a fat-like compound that may support liver and brain function. It's possibly effective for ulcerative colitis, but the evidence for other uses like fatty liver disease and Alzheimer disease is not yet established.
