Vitamin D

Essential for proper bone strength and healing, immune function, and improved arterial function.

Our Vitamin D supplement contains 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 as Cholecalciferol and 200 mcg of vitamin K as Phytonadione (included to prevent calcification of the arteries).

  • Severe bone or muscle pain
  • Tiredness,aches, and pains
  • Stress fractures

 

Who requires adequate Vitamin D?

  • Elderly people: improves bone density, strength, and muscle function. Reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
  • Postmenopausal women: increases absorption of Calcium

 

  • Expecting or breastfeeding mothers: reduces risk of infertility, preeclampsia, and premature birth.
  • Thyroid Disease: linked with reductions in hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmune antibodies
  • Heart Disease
