Vitamin D is not really a vitamin in the traditional sense, because we are able to form it through the skin, once our skin is exposed to UV-B rays from the sun. The formation occurs in the skin from cholesterol. The suns rays have to be strong and the skin has to be directly exposed in order for our bodies to form enough natural vitamin D3 - also referred to as the sunshine vitamin.
Deficiency is therefore particularly common in countries north of the equator.
The sun is the main source to Vitamin D, however you also get small amounts of Vitamin D from egg, liver, cheese and fatty fish.
Vitamin D3 3000 IU combined with virgin olive oil in a softgel capsule for better absorption.
Vitamin D is not like other vitamins that need to be consumed through the diet. Instead, it is a steroid hormone that the body produces itself. Its synthesis requires exposure to ultraviolet B light and heat.
Vitamin D is crucial for our health, especially our bones. As we age, bones become more fragile, which can lead to injuries and fractures. To maintain strong bones, it is essential to keep optimal levels of vitamin D.
There are five forms of vitamin D, but the two most important for humans are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D2 is produced by invertebrates, as well as some plants and fungi. Vitamin D3 is produced by animals and humans and is the form typically used in dietary supplements.
Vitamin D should primarily be obtained through sunlight. However, people living in the Northern Hemisphere do not get enough vitamin D during the winter months and should supplement with dietary supplements, as sun exposure during this time will not maintain optimal levels.
The effects of vitamin D depend on the level in the blood. You will only benefit from its advantages if you get enough vitamin D.
For optimal absorption, vitamin D should be taken in the morning with some fat. The recommended daily dose is usually 10-20 µg, but this is often too low for many in the Northern Hemisphere. Instead, a daily dose of 25-50 µg is optimal for most people.
In general, vitamin D in the right doses is safe to take, and there is very little risk of complications.
Vitamin D is an very important vitamin for your overall health. It contributes to the below processes:
Vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
You get 100 capsules with 75 mcg Vitamin D3 per capsule. This will supply you for 100 days.
Vitamin D is important for the body as it promotes the body's absorption of calcium and phosphate from the intestine as well as the deposition of minerals in bones and teeth. Therefore, to ensure the necessary uptake of calcium, vitamin D is a necessity for bones and is important. Due to the properties of the vitamin, vitamin D is especially important for infants and during pregnancy as it is essential for the baby's bone development, teeth and the mother's bones. Vitamin D is found in many different forms and so far 37 active substances have been found, each of which is different in their chemical structure. The greatest importance for the human body has D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol), of which D3 is the most active form. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that the body cannot absorb vitamin D without a fat.
Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin as the sun is one of the main sources of vitamin D. Sunlight consists of light with different wavelengths, of which the sun's UVB and UVA radiation are of most relevance to humans.
However, vitamin D from sunlight is only formed when the sun is high enough in the sky, otherwise UVB cannot penetrate the atmosphere. Thus, in Scandinavia, it is only in high summer that enough vitamin D3 is formed in the skin via sunlight, and when covered, used with sunscreen or dark skin (higher pigmented skin), the uptake of vitamin D3 is inhibited, thereby increasing need for vitamin D supplementation.
In addition, vitamin D is found in foods such as fatty saline fish, fish liver oil, cheese and other high fat dairy products, as well as egg yolks, avocados and vegetable oils. However, the amount of vitamin D consumed through the diet is insufficient to meet the body's needs.
The National Board of Health already recommends vitamin D supplementation for the elderly over 70 years, pregnant women and children especially children under 2 years, as well as people who do not get sun, and people with darker skin.
Vitamin D is essential for the body to absorb calcium and phosphate from the gut.
