Vitamin D, now widely acknowledged as a hormone, plays a crucial role in numerous body systems and a multitude of physiological processes, making it potentially one of the most prevalent nutrient deficiencies globally. Recent studies have consistently associated lower vitamin D levels with an increased risk of various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, and Cardio Health failure. Additionally, deficiencies have been linked to several types of cancer, autoimmune diseases, and type 2 diabetes.

This vitamin is essential for intestinal calcium absorption, maintaining skeletal bone integrity, and ensuring skeletal muscle strength and function, contributing to overall physical fitness. It holds critical significance for a healthy immune function and may reduce the risk of infection, particularly respiratory tract infections. Considering that virtually every tissue in the body possesses a receptor for vitamin D, its importance is challenging to overstate. Many healthcare practitioners recommend supplementation to attain blood levels of 25-OH-vitamin D between 50-80 nmol/L. Achieving this target often requires daily doses of 1000-2000 IU, with higher amounts recommended for individuals with common genetic variants affecting vitamin D metabolism.

Benefits

• Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) likely more effective at restoring blood levels than D2 form (ergocalciferol)
• In a base of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and organic flaxseed oil for improved intestinal absorption
• MCTs are absorbed directly from the GI tract, thus improving the absorption of vitamin D
• Neutral taste
• Preserved with natural vitamin E
• Liquid form is convenient for a wide range of doses
