Life Extension Vitamin D3 1000 IU, 250 capsules

Vitamin D3 is very difficult for the body to produce without enough sunlight, which is a problem in our latitudes, especially in winter. To ensure adequate vitamin D3 levels throughout the year, it is therefore essential to ensure that you get the right amount of vitamin D3 from food and supplements. Vitamin D3 is important for bone and dental health, promotes proper immune function and is involved in the process of cell division.

Beneficial effects of vitamin D3:

How it works

Vitamin D3 can be synthesized by the human body in the skin after exposure to ultraviolet UVB radiation from sunlight. Due to the lack of sunshine in the winter and the use of sunscreen during the summer months, the body's ability to produce "sunscreen" can be suppressed. Vitamin D3 is considered the most important form of vitamin D. It is mainly found in animal foods such as fish oil or eggs. Its content is quite small, so you should consider its intake through dietary supplements. Vitamin D significantly supports normal bone density. In addition, scientists have confirmed the essential role that vitamin D plays in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation. It is also known to have a significant effect on human immunity, which is important in winter, when the acquisition of "rain" through the sun is very limited. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a number of common age-related problems.

Scientific knowledge of the product

We are able to make some vitamin D in our bodies, but it is usually not enough to maintain adequate levels. We should therefore get additional amounts of vitamin D from diet, sunlight or supplements. Life Extension recommends that healthy adults take 5,000-8,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. A blood test for 25-hydroxyvitamin D should be done three months after taking this dose daily. Based on this, you can adjust your daily dose of vitamin D3 so that the optimal blood level is between 50-80 ng/ml year-round. When vitamin D is ingested in the diet or produced in the skin, the liver and kidneys convert vitamin D into its active form known as 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D or vitamin D3. Virtually every type of tissue in the body has vitamin D receptors, so they need this vitamin to function properly.
