Vitamin D 2000 IU 90 capsules
Vitamin D is the only known nutrient that we can obtain both from sunlight and through diet. In Sweden, only during midday in summer does the sun shine strongly enough for us. During the winter months, we cannot produce any vitamin D at all, which is why we may need additional supplements.
Benefits of Vitamin D:
- Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- Helps maintain normal bone structure.
- Helps maintain normal muscle function.
- Helps maintain normal teeth.
- Contributes to normal calcium and phosphorus absorption/utilization.
- Plays a role in the cell division process.
Are you at risk of Vitamin D deficiency?
Everyone living at our latitudes during winter is at risk of Vitamin D deficiency. The risk increases further for people who don't eat fish or dairy products, those with poor fat absorption, and overweight individuals. Medical conditions that regularly improve during June-August or in connection with sunny vacations may be suspected to be related to Vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D-rich foods:
Vitamin D is the vitamin most rarely found in food - especially in the doses that researchers now recommend. Vitamin D-rich foods include fatty fish, egg yolks, and naturally fatty dairy products produced during summer. Vegetarian diets are low in Vitamin D.
The physiologically most effective form is D3 (cholecalciferol):
Vitamin D exists in two forms; D2 and D3. Both have proven effective in clinical studies for raising blood vitamin D levels, but vitamin D3 is preferred as it is utilized much better by the body and is the form that comes from the most natural sources; sunlight and our food. Studies indicate that 100 micrograms / μg (=4,000 IU) of vitamin D per day provides satisfactory levels without risk of side effects. Reference: www.Lakartidningen.Se
