Now Foods Vitamin D3, 5.000 IU 120 Softgels

The production of vitamin D-3 or cholecalciferol in the human body is produced only photochemically and is done through exposure of the skin to sunlight, specifically UVB ultraviolet radiation. However, its production capacity varies.

Very often, light-skinned people are deficient or deficient in vitamin D-3 due to the use of strong sun protection creams or limited exposure to the sun during the morning and evening hours, which are dominated by UVA rays and to a lesser extent by UVB. Dark-skinned people, who need more time in the sun for their skin to synthesize adequate levels of vitamin D-3, consistently show low levels. In addition, elderly people are often deficient in vitamin D-3 because they do not get enough sun exposure or are severely malnourished.

D-3 is an osteoprotective vitamin, which contributes significantly to the development and maintenance of bones, bone density as well as the maintenance of calcium levels in the blood. This valuable vitamin determines the regulation of the immune system, the secretion of insulin, actively contributes to healthy cell growth, has immunomodulating properties and supports the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin D-3 is found in a few foods, mainly animal foods such as fish, liver and egg yolk. For those who struggle to reach recommended levels, taking a dietary supplement can help boost vitamin D-3 intake.
