What is vitamin D?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that’s naturally present in very few food sources. Its functions in the body are wide ranging, from contributing to bone health to supporting immune function.*

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the same form of vitamin D the body manufactures when skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) sunlight. Vitamin D3 may be more than three times as effective than other forms of vitamin D in raising concentrations in the bloodstream and maintaining those levels for a longer time.*
 
How does vitamin D support health?

• Contributes to bone strength as proper levels create optimum conditions for bone formation.*
• Supports proper functioning of the immune and nervous systems.*
• Promotes the intestinal absorption of calcium.*
• Supports fetal skeletal development and tooth enamel formation.*
• Contributes to healthy levels of phosphorus in the body.*
