Vitamin D 5,000 IU

Vitamin D is a unique nutrient since it can both be ingested through food and generated by our bodies. As a fat-soluble vitamin, Vitamin D aids in the absorption and retention of calcium and phosphorus – two nutrients essential for strong bones. Furthermore, laboratory experiments have demonstrated that this vitamin possesses anticancer properties, accelerates healing from infections, reduces inflammation levels within the body’s organs as well as other tissues with Vitamin D receptors. Scientists are actively researching potential further uses of this powerful dietary component.

Nourishing your body with vitamin D is essential, and although some foods contain it naturally or are fortified with the vitamin, most people still cannot meet their daily needs through diet alone. The best way to get enough of this “sunshine vitamin” is to take a supplement. Vitamin D comes in two forms: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) which originates from plants and fungi, and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), that appears naturally in animal sources including humans when exposed to sunlight’s UVB rays.

Vitamin D is naturally produced in the skin with sunlight exposure, however, many people are lacking this essential nutrient due to their environment. Most commonly, those living in areas where winter reduces access to natural light are at great risk of having low levels of vitamin D. Furthermore, individuals who have darker skin tones also tend to suffer from lower vitamin D concentrations as melanin acts like an umbrella blocking production while simultaneously lessening the potential damage caused by ultraviolet rays on the skin such as cancer.
