Vitamin D3 contributes to:
- the maintenance of normal bone, teeth, and muscle function*
- the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels*
- the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus*
Vitamin D, known as the "sunshine vitamin," is synthesized in the body when our skin is exposed to sunlight, but it is also obtained through diet from foods rich in this valuable nutrient.
Insufficient sun exposure, frequent use of sunscreens, diet, skin melanin content, and age are the most common causes of vitamin D deficiency.
