Vitamin D3, 2000 IU (180 tabs)

Benefits • Supports bone health. • Helps maintain the immune system, especially during the cloudy months. Vitamin D is vital to the health of your skeletal and immune System. The body manufactures this essential vitamin through sun exposure, making it difficult to obtain adequate amounts of vitamin D during the cloudy winter months or when sunscreen is used. * How It Works Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 and D3. Of the two, D3 is more bioactive. The body synthesizes vitamin D3 from sunlight; it cannot be obtained through foods. In the body, vitamin D is responsible for maintaining normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, helping to build strong bones. Vitamin D may also contribute to the overall health of the cardiovascular system. Vitamin D works with other vitamins, minerals and hormones to promote bone mineralization. Research also shows that vitamin D may help support a healthy immune system by regulating lymphocyte function, cytokine production and macrophage activity.
