Vitamin D3
Vilgain Vitamin D3 - a high-quality form of vitamin suitable for vegans
Vitamin D is one of the fat-soluble vitamins. It is fundamental for our health, but it is often lacking in our typical diet [1]. Vitamin D can be produced by itself, but this requires direct sunlight in the form of UVB rays on our skin. The amount of vitamin D in our body is closely related to the time we are exposed to the sun. From autumn to spring, there may be a lack of sunlight, resulting in us having insufficient levels of vitamin. This also happens if we avoid the sun and just stay indoors [2], so it is important to supplement Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) to make up for this loss.
Does Vitamin D only affect normal bone development?
Vitamin D was previously considered only as a substance necessary for healthy bone development and as a prevention of so-called rickets. It helps to absorb calcium from the diet and build it into bone tissue. Today, however, we know that it is involved in many more processes.
- Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a number of diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, and with the development of cardiovascular disease [3].
- In men with low plasma levels of vitamin D, an increase in testosterone levels can be observed after adequate supplementation [4].
