Vitamin D3 75 mcg

Description

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and plays an important role in the body for strong bones and teeth and promotes the absorption of the minerals calcium* and phosphorus in the body.

Insufficient vitamin D metabolism is more often the rule than the exception due to the scarcity of sunlight in our cold Benelux countries. Nevertheless, a balanced diet can be an effective remedy. This is because the forms ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) can be found in mushrooms and food of animal origin, respectively. Mushrooms and animals produce vitamin D the same way humans do, under the influence of UV radiation (sunlight). In fact, the form you consume from animal products (vitamin D3) is exactly the same vitamin D that our human skin makes, and therefore the most bioavailable form for our human digestive system.

*Advice:

Vitamin D3 is very important. In addition to this vitamin, we also recommend taking good Vitamin K2 supplementation. This is because Vitamin K2 is, among other things, a calcium distributor that ensures that all that extra absorbed calcium ends up where it is needed: namely, in the bones and not, for example, in the blood vessels.

Excessive calcium absorption in the body through diet or intake of calcium supplements can cause unwanted calcium deposits to form in kidneys and blood vessels. It is recommended to take vitamin K2 in addition to vitamin D3.
