D3 Liquid

A factor in maintaining good health. Calcium intake, when combined with adequate vitamin D, a healthy diet, and regular physical activity, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. Helps in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. Helps prevent vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is made in the skin when 7-dehydrocholesterol reacts with sunlight, but many factors influence the degree of this biosynthesis, including time of day, seasons, location, smog/pollution, clothing, skin tone (darker skin needs more sun), and sunscreen use. Low-cholesterol diets and certain cholesterol-lowering therapies can also affect vitamin D formation. It is estimated that one billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient or insufficient. Reversing deficiency and maintaining optimal serum vitamin D levels has a beneficial impact on the biochemistry and many body systems, largely because calcitriol—the metabolic product of vitamin D—is a secosteroid hormone that targets more than 200 genes in a wide variety of tissues. As research demonstrates, vitamin D is clearly imperative for the development, growth, and maintenance of a healthy body from gestation to senescence.
