OVERVIEW

Vitamin D is a steroid vitamin, a group of fat soluble prohormones that are best known for the role they play in supporting bone health and aiding in the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the GI tract. However, a growing body of research highlights its important role in supporting other body systems, including cardiovascular and blood sugar balance. The Vitamin D 1,000 IU formulation is delivered as D3 (cholecalciferol) for optimal absorption in the body. Suggested Use: 1 or more capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

INGREDIENT BENEFITS

Vitamin D Depletion While it has long been assumed that the majority of the population achieves adequate levels of vitamin D through exposure to the sun, the biosynthesis of the nutrient is affected by time of day, seasons, location, smog/pollution, clothing, and sunscreen. Bone and Dental Health Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of vitamin D to maintaining healthy bone density. Cardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Balance In light of the role that vitamin D plays in a variety of tissues and body systems, it comes as no surprise that much research from recent years has underscored its contribution to cardiometabolic wellness. Vitamin D has also been shown to support healthy blood sugar metabolism. Immune Health and Modulation One of the more profound functions of vitamin D is its ability to modulate immunity. An important recent study suggested that improving vitamin D status significantly affects the expression of genetic pathways linked to immune activity. Vitamin D has been shown to boost the immune response by up-regulating specific genes. Musculoskeletal Comfort Numerous studies also point to the key role of vitamin D in supporting musculoskeletal strength and comfort.
