Vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin” because the body produces Vitamin D itself when the skin is directly exposed to sunlight. The ultraviolet B rays from the sun are absorbed by the cholesterol in the skin, and quickly converted into Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is then transported to the liver and converted to calcifediol (25(OH)D). To determine a person's vitamin D status, these 25(OH)D serum levels are measured in the blood.

About 50% of the population worldwide suffers from deficient Vitamin D levels, and it affects all ethnic groups and all ages. There are several factors that determine whether someone has a Vitamin D deficiency. Influencing examples: the season of the year, lifestyle (indoor or outdoor activities), latitude and/or location where a person lives, skin color, age, use of sunscreen etc.

Vitamin D is rarely found in regular food, so supplementation can help.

How to use:

Take 3 tablets (= 1 serving) with a meal. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so it is important to take the tablets with a meal. This way it is much better absorbed by the body.

Vitamin D3 is taken in micrograms and so you actually need very little substance to get the daily amount. SynTech chose to use a minimum of additives to make the tablet and therefore the tablets are Vitamin D3 so small. Don't be shocked when you open the jar, all 270 tablets are in it!
