Dietary supplement – additional source of vitamin D3

Properties

Biologically active food supplement.

Replenishes the daily requirement for vitamin D.

The precursor of vitamin D is synthesized in human skin under the influence of ultraviolet rays from sunlight. A certain amount of vitamin D enters the body with food (fish oil, butter, eggs, milk, mushrooms).

Vitamin D deficiency can manifest as muscle weakness, discomfort in bones and muscles, difficulty walking, frequent colds, and constant fatigue.

This product can be used if adequate intake of vitamin D cannot be guaranteed, for example, due to unbalanced food consumption or lack of sunlight. Moreover, with age, vitamin D levels decrease even in people living in regions with sufficient levels of insolation. Causes of vitamin D deficiency can include the geographical location of the area of residence, which causes scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere or a small number of sunny days per year, as well as the use of sunscreens. Furthermore, impaired nutrient absorption in gastrointestinal diseases, excess body weight, and the use of certain medications can play a role in the development of vitamin D deficiency.

This product can be taken to maintain normal levels of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) regardless of the season, insolation, food preferences, or diet.

Vitamin D is necessary for maintaining: the body’s energy potential – helps reduce feelings of fatigue and improve well-being; immune system activity, which may help reduce the risk of developing colds; levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body, which helps ensure the strength of bones and teeth; normal cell division; healthy functioning of the nervous system, including the psycho-emotional sphere and cognitive functions; normal reproductive function in women and men.

Some products may contain vitamin E.

Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect, participates in heme and protein biosynthesis, cell proliferation, tissue respiration, other important processes of tissue metabolism, prevents hemolysis of red blood cells, and prevents increased permeability and fragility of capillaries.
