About vitamin D3

Vitamin D is produced in the human body, when the skin is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays and is one of the essential nutrients to sustain human health. Vitamin D has a significant role for the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, it assists calcium absorption and ensures correct renewal and mineralization of bone tissue. Thus, supplementing with vitamin D can be beneficial in prevention of bone loss/osteoporosis as well as proper muscle function. However, vitamin D overall health benefits go beyond those of the musculoskeletal system alone. Vitamin D is an important factor for proper immune function, mood, growth and development. It has beneficial effects in type 2 diabetes and autoimmune disorders. A deficiency in vitamin D can increase as well, the risk for developing cardiovascular disease, since it’s involved in regulating blood pressure, and inflammation.
With Canada’s northern latitude and proximity to the sun, Canadians aren’t able to generate enough vitamin D in the winter months (late October through early March). This is supported by the Canadian Health Measures Survey which reveals that one third of Canadians are vitamin D deficient, and this is more pronounced in the winter months. Thus, supplementation with vitamin D is the only viable method of attaining optimum vitamin D status.
