- About this item WHAT IS VITAMIN D: Vitamin D has numerous benefits that are becoming more well known. The involvement in many of the body’s vital processes is now being recognized. Vitamin D3, sometimes known as the ‘sunshine vitamin’ is produced naturally in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. You can also get it through certain foods. Although classified as a vitamin, D3 cleverly transforms into a hormone in the body and circulates in the bloodstream to help in the absorption of calcium and phosphorous. WHAT DOES IT DO?: This is one of the most vital functions that Vitamin D3 performs. We know that calcium builds and strengthens teeth and bone mass and is vital for bone development and growth. In addition, Calcium plays a role in the production of hormones in the body by transmitting nerve impulses to the brain. Almost 99% of your Vitamin D supply is used for regulating the calcium in the body, the remaining part is utilized for strengthening the immune system and maintaining muscle strength. WHY IS VITAMIN D3 BETTER THAN VITAMIN D2?: Vitamin D comes in two forms. The main difference between them is where they come from and how they are made: Vitamin D2 is produced by plants, whereas Vitamin D3 is most commonly found in humans and animals produced in our skin when exposed to sunlight. However, Vitamin D2 considered a lower quality source of vitamin D. Although you need both types, Vitamin D3 is considered a higher quality source of vitamin D and more important to our wellbeing.

Vitamin D’s role in calcium metabolism and bone health is well known. However, it has many other important physiologic roles that are not as well appreciated. Vitamin D receptors are widely distributed in the body, including the colon, prostate, breast, and ovary, where it acts to inhibits the excessive growth of body cells and tissues and helps cells mature normally. Adequate amounts of vitamin D, an essential, fat-soluble vitamin, come from consistent exposure to sunshine and are difficult to obtain from dietary sources. Postmenopausal women, older individuals, and those with malabsorption, limited sun exposure, or certain illnesses may need higher intakes of vitamin D. Vitamin D3, the naturally-occurring form, is supplied in a high-potency amount of 5,000 I.U. per capsule for those needing to conveniently augment dietary intake. A daily vitamin D3 intake of 2,000 to 10,000 units, an amount shown to be safe and effective by clinical studies, is now advised by many experts.100 capsules
