Vitamin D3 5000iu 100 Softgels
La Vitamin D (like cholecalciferol), a fat-soluble vitamin is known as "solar", as it is produced in the body by the action of the sun's UV rays on the skin. Vitamin D is converted in the kidneys to the hormone calcitriol, which is basically its most potent form. The effects of this hormone are directed towards the intestines and bones.
The main biological function of vitamin D is to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. It aids in the absorption of calcium, promoting the formation and maintenance of healthy bones. It increases bone mineralization in combination with several other vitamins, minerals and hormones. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, soft and shapeless. This feature prevents skeletal diseases such as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults which cause defects and weaken the bones.
