Vitamin D3 – 5000iu – 360 SoftGel Capsules

Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscle function, and contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Vitamin D is produced in our bodies when our skin is exposed to sunlight although it is now believed that sufficient Vitamin D cannot be obtained purely from sunlight. By taking vitamin D3 5000 iu supplements during the autumn and winter months especially, it may help ensure we maintain adequate levels of Vitamin D.

This is even more important as we age with many natural health specialists suggesting that supplementing vitamin D when over the age of 35 is beneficial and is increasingly important when over the age of 40. Indeed, current research continues to find that sunlight is not sufficient to maintain the levels which the body requires for Vitamin D and it is becoming increasingly accepted that all but the very young need to supplement their vitamin D intake for maximum benefits. The levels of intake recommended by many in the medical community have increased from 400iu per day to between 4,000iu and 5000iu per day, with some even suggesting vitamin d 10,000 iu per day.

Scientists are discovering new facts about vitamin D and its relation to various diseases.

Vitamin D not only strengthens bones, but protects against diabetes, heart disease and even depression. The amount of Vitamin D in your body should be checked when you experience tiredness, muscle weakness, muscle aches from unknown reasons, tears in the tooth enamel and weakened immunity. All of this may be due to lack of vitamin D.
