What exactly is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is vital for the human body. It is not actually a vitamin in the strict sense, but a (pro-)hormone, because the body can produce vitamin D itself. With the help of sunlight , the body produces vitamin D in the skin and stores it. It then becomes active vitamin D3 through the influence of our own body heat[1].
Why is vitamin D3 so important for our body?
The effect of vitamin D3 plays an important role in bone maintenance. It is responsible for ensuring that calcium, an important building block in bones[2], is transported and incorporated into bones [3].
The body's own vitamin D production can be disrupted , especially in the darker seasons [4 ]. Low vitamin D levels can lead to deficiency symptoms. To prevent this, vitamin D levels in the blood should be monitored so that appropriate action can be taken. In addition to sufficient exposure to the sun and a diet rich in vitamin D, taking additional vitamin D supplements can be useful.
In addition to Life Extension Vitamin D3 with 1,000 IU, you will also find Life Extension D3 in a triple dosage of 3,000 IU.
