Vitamin E

About this product

Despite the name, vitamin D3 is considered a pro-hormone and not actually a vitamin. Vitamins are nutrients that cannot be created by the body and therefore must be taken through our diet. However, vitamin D3 can be synthesized by our body when sunlight hits our skin. Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin by absorbing the sun's UV rays and is obtained from food in limited amounts. Sun protection and climate factors may influence low Vitamin D3 levels. It is estimated that sensible sun exposure on bare skin for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times weekly allows most people to produce enough vitamin D3, but vitamin D3 breaks down quite quickly, meaning that stores can run low, especially in the winter. Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) is needed for the human body to regulate phosphorus and calcium levels for healthy bones, teeth and heart. Vitamin D3 is beneficial for immune, cardiovascular, bone density and structure, and cellular function. It plays a key role in most organs and systems of the body and influences the “chemical messengers” of the immune system. The Vitamin D3 in this product is the same form produced by the body when our skin is exposed to sunlight.
