Vitamin D

Supporting optimum Vitamin D levels, bone formation and cardiovascular function

Vitamin D is an extremely important fat-soluble vitamin. Most of us should have enough of this vitamin – our bodies produce it naturally when our skin is exposed to sunlight. However, due to the concern over sunburn and sun-exposure, many of us may not be getting enough of this nutrient. Around 27% of New Zealanders have levels way below that which is considered optimal. Vitamin D levels should be checked regularly, but if you think that you may not be getting enough of this then supplementation with Vitamin D3 should be considered. Studies indicate that besides supporting healthy Vitamin D levels, supplementation may support healthy bone function, healthy cardiovascular function, healthy blood sugar levels and healthy neurological function.
