Sources of vitamin D
Vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin, or the sun vitamin.
This is because the body produces the vitamin D it needs when our skin is directly exposed to sunlight.
When ultraviolet B (UVB) rays hit receptor cells in the skin, they trigger a chemical reaction which produces vitamin D3.
This means that it can be difficult to get the vitamin D we need, especially during the winter months or if you do not get to spend much time outside.
In the UK, during winter, the sun is not thought to be strong enough to produce vit D.
It is also thought that wearing sun cream can stop the production of vitamin D.
Since it can therefore be a challenge to get enough vitamin D via sunlight alone, the NHS recommends that everyone in the UK should take a vitamin D supplement during the winter months, from October to March, in order to keep their levels topped up.
There are very few natural food sources of vitamin D. These include egg yolks, liver, red meat and oily fish. Many of these sources are not suitable to vegetarians. So it can be even more difficult to get enough vit D if you are vegetarian or you simply do not like these foods.
Luckily, Holland and Barrett Vitamin D3 100UG are suitable for vegetarians too.
Benefits of vitamin D3
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble essential vitamin, which your body needs to stay healthy.
The body cannot produce it on its own: it needs to obtain via direct sunlight, food sources or supplements.
Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol as it is sometimes known, is one of the two main forms of vitamin D.
Taking a vitamin D3 supplement each day has great benefits for your overall health and wellbeing and this max strength formula gives you all the vitamin D that your body needs each day. Each capsule contains 100UG of vitamin D3.
Vitamin D helps to support calcium and phosphate levels in the body. Vitamin D supports the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function as well as the normal function of the immune system.
Vitamin D as we get older
As we age, our bodies lose some of their ability to produce vitamin D from sunlight. This means that as you get older, you are more likely to have low vitamin D.
Vitamin D capsules are a good way to make sure that you get your daily dose of this essential vitamin.
