LIFE EXTENSION, VITAMIN D3, 1000 IU, 90 SOFTGELS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Description Foundation for Longer Life Essential for Maintaining Healthy Bone Growth and Density Dietary Supplement Vitamin D3 can be synthesized by humans in the skin upon exposure to ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation from sunlight. But, due to the winter season, weather conditions, and sun block, the bodys ability to produce optimal vitamin D levels may be inhibited.87 These factors point to the value of taking a daily vitamin D supplement. Vitamin D has long provided significant support for healthy bone density. However, scientists have also validated the critical role that vitamin D plays in regulating healthy cell division and differentiation, and its profound effects on human immunity. These findings link a deficiency of vitamin D to a host of common age-related problems. The current RDA is only 600 IU. As a result of startling evidence of a widespread vitamin D deficiency, prominent nutritional scientists are calling on Americans to increase their vitamin D intake to 1,000 IU per day and higher. Currently, most experts in the field believe that intakes of between 1,000 and 10,000 IU for adults will lead to serum 25(OH)D levels above those indicative of vitamin D deficient levels, at approximately 80 nmol/L or 32 ng/mL. Suggested Use Read the entire label and follow the directions carefully prior to use. Take one (1) softgel daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Other Ingredients Safflower oil, gelatin, glycerin and purified water. Warnings Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Caution: Individuals consuming more than 2,000 IU/day of vitamin D (from diet and supplements) should periodically obtain a serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D measurement.
