Ultra Vitamin D3* 4000 IU (100µg)

Maximum Strength Vitamin D3

Ultra Vitamin D provides maximum strength vitamin D, a nutrient that plays a truly remarkable role in the body and is important for many areas of health. It not only contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth but is also known for its role in supporting normal function of the immune system, normal cell division and normal muscle function.

Vitamin D is synthesized by the body on exposure to sunlight. However, many areas of the world receive insufficient sunlight and even in sunny areas, many choose to limit their exposure due to the negative health effects of excessive exposure to the sun's UV rays. These factors have led to widespread low vitamin D levels in many parts of the world.

Many national governments now recommend vitamin D supplementation for the entire population, due to the many benefits of this key nutrient. The UK Department of Health recommends that everyone (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) should consider taking a daily supplement containing vitamin D especially during the autumn and winter.

What is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, found in foods such as mushrooms, oily fish, butter and egg yolk. Vitamin D has functions and benefits that are probably more wide ranging than any other vitamin.

There has been huge renewed interest in vitamin D recently, with new global research showing that the health benefits of this nutrient stretch beyond bone health. There is increasing evidence for the beneficial effects from dietary vitamin D which has shown benefits for its contribution to:

• Normal function of the immune system
• Normal absorption and utilisation of calcium in the body
• Maintenance of normal bones and teeth
• Maintenance of normal muscle function
• Normal blood calcium levels
• The process of cell division

For adults over the age of 60, it has also been shown that a daily vitamin D intake of 20µg or more from all sources helps to reduce the risk of falling associated with postural instability and muscle weakness. Falling is a risk factor for bone fractures among men and women 60 years of age and older.
