Henry Blooms Vitamin D3 1000IU 60 Capsules

Overview

Vitamin D is required for the regulation of the minerals calcium and phosphorus found in the body. This regulation plays an important role in maintaining the proper bone structure and healthy teeth. Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption; a diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. It has also been found that the occurrence of osteoarthritis is linked to low blood levels of Vitamin D. Supplementation of Vitamin D also leads to an increase in muscle strength thus helping to reduce falls in older people.

Supplementation provides the required amount which is unattainable from diet alone and without the dangers of exposure to sunlight.

• Vitamin D3 is more effective in raising blood levels of vitamin D than vitamin D2
• Vitamin D3 increases absorption of calcium whereas Vitamin D2 does not.
• Vitamin D3 binds to plasma proteins and isn’t excreted as easily from the body
• Vitamin D3 in its natural oily form
