Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin which can either be ingested in food or manufactured by the body as a result of sunlight falling on the skin. People who feel they do not get enough sunshine often choose to supplement their diet with extra Vitamin D. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones, as well as teeth, & is also thought to be important for a healthy immune system. Each tablet provides a full 1000iu of vitamin D. Why should someone supplement with vitamin D? Many clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of vitamin D to support bone strength & density: Supplementation with vitamin D at dosages of 700-800 IU daily or higher has been associated with a 23-26% improvement in bone health, especially for older adults. It is convenient: Vitamin D3 provides an easy way to increase intake of cholecalciferol
- the same form of vitamin D our bodies create naturally. To support healthy bones: Healthy bones need vitamin D to properly use calcium & phosphorus. Vitamin D3 helps regulate calcium & phosphorus absorption through the intestines, reduces kidney excretion of calcium, & regulates the amount of calcium in the bones.
