Long Description:
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus. People can get it through natural exposure to sunlight, where the vitamin is formed in the skin, as well as through foods and supplements. Vitamin D3 is not a single substance, but a group of compounds known as calciferols. The body absorbs calciferol into the blood and then converts it into calcitriol. There are two types of vitamin D—D3, which is found in animal fats, and D2, which is found in some plants and mushrooms. Vitamin D3 benefits the body in several ways. It supports healthy bones and teeth, strengthens the immune system, and reduces the risk of respiratory diseases.
Why do I need to take this product?
Vitamin D3 can be formed naturally in the human skin under the influence of sunlight. In foods, this vitamin can be obtained from animal fats. At risk of deficiency are the elderly, those who are overweight, those suffering from diseases that impair the absorption of fats, as well as people who do not get enough sun exposure. Since Vitamin D3 is found in animal fats, vegetarians are also at risk of such a deficiency. Vitamin D3 deficiency leads to weak bones, an increased risk of fractures, osteoporosis, weak muscles, poor immune function, an increased risk of infections and autoimmune diseases.
How does the product work and what are the benefits of taking it?
Vitamin D3 plays a significant role in regulating the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. These factors are vital for maintaining the integrity and strength of bones. Without enough Vitamin D3, a person can develop osteomalacia, or the so-called softening of the bones. The risk of fractures also increases. Vitamin D3 deficiency can also manifest as osteoporosis. Without enough Vitamin D3, the body can absorb only 10% to 15% of the calcium it receives from food.
Scientific research has already shown that taking Vitamin D3 can protect the body from contracting the flu. In an international study that looked at almost 11,000 people across 25 clinical trials, researchers found that people who started taking Vitamin D3 supplements reduced their risk of developing acute respiratory infections and upper respiratory tract infections.
Vitamin D3 also plays an important role in regulating cell growth. Laboratory experiments suggest that it helps prevent uncontrolled cell proliferation in people with cancer by limiting the blood supply to the tumor (angiogenesis), increasing cancer cell death (apoptosis), and limiting the spread of cancer cells (metastasis). The risk of colon cancer, breast cancer, and other malignancies appears to be increased in populations living at latitudes far from the equator. Sun exposure and lower levels of Vitamin D3 may be part of the explanation. A recent clinical trial looking at daily vitamin D3 supplementation did not show a reduced risk of cancer, but it did show a reduced risk of death from cancer. There is also research to support the claim that Vitamin D3 can increase insulin sensitivity, enhance beta cell function, and reduce inflammation—all benefits that may improve the condition of people with diabetes.
