Vitamin D32500IU
Vitamin D, recognized as a hormone, is integral to numerous body systems and physiological processes. Globally, it is among the most prevalent nutrient deficiencies, with nearly 40% of Canadians exhibiting insufficient or deficient levels. Vitamin D plays a critical role in supporting healthy immune function, potentially reducing the risk and severity of infections, especially respiratory tract infections, particularly in individuals susceptible to infection. Recent studies have established a connection between lower vitamin D levels and an elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and coronary artery disease.
This vitamin is essential for the absorption of dietary calcium and crucial for bone health and muscle strength. Vitamin D's influence extends to overall physical fitness and performance, with lower levels associated with frailty, particularly in older adults. Clinically relevant supplementation has demonstrated a well-established reduction in osteoporotic fractures. With receptors for vitamin D present in essentially every tissue in the body, its importance is challenging to overstate. Many practitioners recommend supplementation to achieve blood levels of 50–80 nmol/L for 25-OH-vitamin D. This target often necessitates daily doses of 1000–2000 IU and higher amounts for individuals with common genetic variants affecting vitamin D metabolism.
Benefits
- Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is likely more effective at restoring blood levels than the D2 form (ergocalciferol)
- Cholecalciferol is also shown to increase the proportion of the active form of vitamin D versus ergocalciferol
- 2500 IU of vitamin D per softgel allows for easy daily dosing
- Easy-to-swallow and highly bioavailable softgel
- In a base of organic flaxseed oil for improved intestinal absorption
