Vitamin D: an essential vitamin

We couldn’t live without vitamin D. This essential vitamin helps keep our bones and teeth strong, contributes to the support of the immune system, and helps our bodies maintain healthy muscles and nerves.

Only a tiny amount of the vitamin D that we get from our food makes its way into our bloodstream. We create this vital nutrient in our bodies almost entirely from direct sunlight on our skin. But did you know that we don’t produce vitamin D ourselves in the winter, even on sunny days?

In the colder months, the sun’s rays hit our atmosphere at an acute angle, meaning they have to pass through a thicker layer to reach us. In comparison, the high summer sun’s rays are more ‘direct’, having a thinner filter to get through.

Extra vitamin D for when your levels are dwindling

To help our body get the levels they need, it’s recommended to take a vitamin D supplement during autumn and winter. Those at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency (estimated to be over one billion people worldwide) should consider taking a supplement throughout the year.

Why? Our bones and teeth hold 99% of our body’s calcium, and vitamin D3 helps it regulate these levels, by increasing the absorption of calcium from food, and reducing the excretion of calcium from the body.

Vitamin D3 supplements can also help maintain healthy muscles and nerves, and a healthy immune system. Studies have shown that vitamin D may stimulate the body's production of anti-viral and anti-bacterial proteins, with some experts saying they would choose a vitamin D supplement before vitamin C when considering cold and flu protection!

Backed by science, Pharma Nord Bio-Vitamin D3 supplements come in easy-to-swallow pearl capsules containing vitamin D dissolved in cold-pressed olive oil, for better absorption. Due to its documented bio-availability, the product has been selected for use in a number of clinical trials, including the groundbreaking ‘Coronavit’ trial.
