VITAMIN D3

Vitamin D3 is a food supplement. Vitamin D is also needed for those who get too little sun or winter exposure, or who do not get enough from their diet. Vitamin D3 contains pure cholecalciferol, i.e. 6mg per gel capsule. Vitamin D plays an important role in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, which are extremely important for bone homeostasis. Vitamin D improves calcium absorption in the digestive tract, affects serum calcium levels and stimulates parathyroid hormone (PTH) to have a positive effect on serum calcium levels. In addition to its effect on bones, it plays a role in the normal functioning of muscles and the immune system. Some people call vitamin D the “athlete’s hormone”.
