1000IU (25 µg) vitamin D per capsule
In a base of coconut oil for best absorption
Contributes to the normal function of the immune system
Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones
Contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function
Contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth
Vitamin D3 is formed in the skin when exposed to sunlight and since the sun is not high enough in the Nordic countries for most of the year, it is recommended to take vitamin D through dietary supplements. Vitamin D comes from a natural source (lanolin).
Benefits
In the Nordic countries, vitamin D is in short supply
Vitamin D is formed in the skin when exposed to sunlight during the spring and summer months in Sweden. Between May and September, absorption through the skin is at its best, provided that you do not use sunscreen or full-covering clothing. During the summer months, the sun is the primary source of vitamin D, but from late autumn until spring, no significant synthesis in the body can really be expected, since UV-B radiation is filtered out in the atmosphere when the sun is low. Until just a few years ago, many people took it for granted that the synthesized amount of vitamin D formed in the body during the summer should cover the need even during the winter months, since vitamin D is fat-soluble and can therefore be stored in the body. However, it is now known that the synthesized amount is often not sufficient, and that only some people have produced the amount required to cover a larger part of the need even during the winter months. Many people therefore risk having too low levels of vitamin D during large parts of the year.
Sunscreen protects – but also blocks vitamin D synthesis
The use of sunscreen has an important task, namely to protect the skin against the harmful effects of the sun's rays. At the same time, the process by which the sun's rays synthesize and create our natural stores of vitamin D in the skin is also blocked. The color of your skin also plays a role in how effective the absorption is. The darker your skin, the less vitamin D is absorbed. Nordics with very fair skin like to put on a little extra sunscreen to avoid the risk of getting red and sunburned, which is absolutely right, but then we also miss out on vitamin D. Many people choose instead to protect themselves with full-coverage clothing or lie in the shade, which also means that we miss out on vitamin D from the sun.
Vitamin D in the diet
Unfortunately, vitamin D is not found in large quantities in the diet, and therefore, for example, certain dairy products are fortified with vitamin D. The vitamin is also found in smaller quantities in eggs and meat. Salmon, sardines, mackerel and other fatty fish are good sources of vitamin D. Some mushrooms, such as chanterelles, actually contain some vitamin D, but in a more inactive form.
Affects important systems in the body
Vitamin D has the ability to affect several of the body's cell functions, which in turn affects our health in a number of different ways. Vitamin D plays an important role in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, for the nervous system and muscles to function normally and it also contributes to a normally functioning immune system. Other parts of the body are also dependent on vitamin D, such as the skeleton, teeth and it is needed for the cell division process.
Ingredients: MCT oil (coconut), capsule (bovine gelatin), thickener (glycerol), antioxidant: Rosemary extract (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
