Vitamin D is one of the few fat-soluble vitamins that the human body can produce itself. To do this, however, it needs the sun, since vitamin D is only produced through exposure to the sun and is formed in the skin. However , adequate coverage is difficult under normal living conditions with low sun exposure . Vitamin D in the form of a dietary supplement is therefore particularly useful in the dark winter months.

The special thing about vitamin D is that the human organism only produces it at all if it is exposed to the sun for at least half an hour a day. Only a relatively small proportion is ingested through food, the rest must be covered by sufficient sunlight. However, the fact that around 60% of adults are not adequately supplied and 30% suffer from an acute vitamin D deficiency proves that this is not always possible.

function and effect

Vitamin D strengthens teeth and bones and supports the organism in numerous metabolic processes. The vitamin maintains the functionality of the muscles and supports the immune system . The absorption and utilization of phosphorus and calcium are also positively influenced by the sufficient intake of vitamin D. This ensures the sufficient availability of phosphorus and calcium in the gastrointestinal tract.

It carries :

• to a normal function of the immune system (physical defence).
• to maintain a regulated muscle function.
• contribute to the maintenance of strong bones.
• contributes to normal absorption/utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• contributes to normal blood calcium levels.
• contribute to the maintenance of healthy teeth.
