Cyto D3 1000IU Drops

Supports skeletal health, immunity, mood disorders, cardiovascular function, hormonal imbalances, and more. 1000 IU of stable vitamin D3 per drop, allowing for variable, condition-specific dosing. As Canadians living north of the equator, sunlight exposure is not always guaranteed, and winters can be long. This is problematic not only because of the health implications of a lack of sunlight and outdoor exposure, but also because of the role ultraviolet (UV) rays play in the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the body. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the preferred form of vitamin D for optimal bioavailability and function in the body. It is naturally photosynthesized in skin tissue from the cholesterol compound 7-dehydrocholesterol after exposure to UV-B rays. However, current estimates suggest that one in three Canadians suffers from a manifest vitamin D deficiency due to inadequate sun exposure, poor diet, medication use, obesity, and other stressors. Approximately two in three Canadians have adequate, but suboptimal, vitamin D levels. These figures are concerning because vitamin D is essential for countless actions in the human body. It is best known for its ability to positively regulate calcium absorption from the intestine. However, research over the past two decades has discovered that vitamin D3 is necessary for proper immune function, mood health, cardiovascular function, skin health, and proper gene expression. Consider that vitamin D receptors (VDRs) are found in dozens of tissues, including the thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, skeletal muscle, cardiovascular tissues, colon, liver, kidneys, breasts, and retina. With this in mind, it's no surprise that many experts now refer to vitamin D3 as a hormone with the ability to actually alter gene production and expression. Cyto-D3 Liquid is designed to help prevent vitamin D3 deficiency. Each bottle of Cyto-D3 Liquid provides 15 ml of stable vitamin D3 liquid, with a concentration of 1000 IU of vitamin D3 per drop. Cyto-D3 Liquid provides vitamin D3 in a medium-chain triglyceride oil base sourced from coconut oil to promote optimal absorption and bioavailability.
