Description
Your skin produces vitamin D3 via exposure to direct sunlight.
Plants also get their nourishment from the sun, which inspired Life Extension to create a vitamin D3 supplement completely free of animal sources or by-products.
Life Extension recommends at least 75 µg (3000 IU) of vitamin D3 a day.
This vitamin D3 supplement delivers 125 mcg (5000 IU) of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per capsule.
Your optimal blood levels should be 50–80 ng/ml year-round.
As you age, vitamin D is vital for maintaining cognitive health and function.
Cognitive health tests have shown that aging individuals perform with better scores on maintenance of cognitive ability when the levels of vitamin D are healthy.
Vitamin D (along with essential minerals and vitamin K) plays a critical role in facilitating the transport of calcium into the bone matrix. Keeping healthy vitamin D-levels is therefore important for maintaining strong, healthy bones and teeth.
Vitamin D is also essential for a healthy immune function.
Vitamin D helps regulate the calcium balance in the body, facilitates calcium absorption into the bloodstream and encourages healthy endothelial function.
Vitamin D also helps prevent excess renin levels, and healthy renin levels support healthy blood pressure.
