Vitamin D3 50 Plus

Description

What is Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D plays a critical role in calcium absorption, muscle function, immune support, and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It’s often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” is synthesized when skin is exposed to sunlight, however research shows that your body's capacity to effectively make vitamin D falls by more than 50% between the ages of 20 and 80.

In the UK, sunlight is not strong enough to produce adequate vitamin D between October and March, and modern indoor lifestyles further contribute to widespread insufficient levels, even during summer months.

As many as one in five individuals therefore have insufficient levels of vitamin D and the NHS advises that adults require at least 10 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin D daily to maintain optimal health. This recommendation is especially important for those at increased risk of low levels such as pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Why is ours better?
Our experts have created a small capsule with optimum levels of vitamin D, specially formulated for anyone over the age of 50. We've also added a drop of cold−pressed extra virgin olive oil, which makes it easier for the body to absorb. Unlike some vitamin D supplements, we exclusively use vitamin D3, which is the form of vitamin D produced naturally in the body in response to sunlight and is the form our bodies are most able to process.

Who is this for?
It's ideal for the over−50s, or those at increased risk of low levels, who want high levels of vitamin D3 in small, easily−absorb capsules to support bones, teeth, muscles and immune health.
