Vitamin D3 - The Science

• Vitamin D3 is essential for optimal health as it supports the Immune System.

• Vitamin D3 is produced when sunlight converts a pro-hormone in the skin into vitamin D. A form of cholesterol naturally found in the skin absorbs the UVB radiation and converts it into cholecalciferol, the pre-vitamin form of D3. This travels to the liver where it is metabolized and then converted by the kidneys into the form of Vitamin D that the body can use.

• Supplementing with Vitamin D3 is especially beneficial during autumn and winder when there is sunlight and so the body produces less vitamin D3, or for people who do not like to expose their skin to too much sunlight.

• It can be taken all year round in countries in the northern hemisphere such as the UK where there are generally fewer hours of sunshine even in the summer.

• NHS recommends everyone should take a daily Vitamin D supplement.

• Our high strength Vitamin D3 supplement tablets are a convenient way to support your nutrition if you struggle to get sufficient levels from the sun or diet alone.
