Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble Vitamins responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and has multiple other biological effects.

Vitamin D plays a substantial role in the regulation of calcium and maintenance of phosphorus levels in the blood, two factors that are extremely important for maintaining healthy bones.

We need Vitamin D to absorb calcium in the intestines and to reclaim calcium that would otherwise be excreted through the kidneys.

In humans, the most important compounds in this group are Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol).

CLINICAL BENEFITS OF TAKING Vitamin D3

• Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus.
• Contributes to normal cell division.
• Contributes to normal blood calcium levels.
• Development of and maintenance of strong bones and teeth.
• Maintenance of normal muscle function.

If you are pregnant, lactating or suspect you are pregnant, please consult with a healthcare professional before proceeding with use.

WHY SHOULD WE SUPPLEMENT ?

Many lifestyles and environmental factors can affect the ability to obtain enough Vitamin D from the sun. That’s why it is important to get some of your Vitamin D from sources besides the sun.

SUPPORTS THE FUNCTION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

• Supports the brain, skin, joint ,digestive, heart and nervous system.
• Vitamin D may help to reduce depression.
• May assist with weight loss.
• Calcium intake when combined with sufficient Vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

THE SUN IS OUR BEST SOURCE OF Vitamin D

There’s good reason why Vitamin D is called “the sunshine Vitamin.”

When your skin is exposed to sunlight, it makes Vitamin D from cholesterol. The sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays hit cholesterol in the skin cells, providing the energy for Vitamin D synthesis to occur. Vitamin D has many roles in the body and is essential for optimal health.

FACTORS THAT MAY DECREASE THE SYNTHESIS OF VITAMIN D FROM THE SUN:

• Living at high altitudes, particular during the winter.
• Excessive use of sunscreen.
• Skin pigmentation (Having a dark skin type).
• Environmental air quality (e.g. high level of air pollution).
• Weather conditions (e.g. dense cloud covering)
