Vitamin D3 2000 IU

Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble nutrient that is shown to have a host of benefits and positive impacts on muscular and bone health, immune function, sleep quality, and inflammation management.

Notable benefits include: 

• Maintaining skeletal integrity: Vitamin D3 plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bones by aiding the body’s calcium & phosphorus absorption. Without adequate vitamin D3, the body does not absorb these essential minerals as effectively, leading to weakened bones and an increased risk of conditions like fractures and osteoporosis. Supplementation ensures that calcium is properly utilized and deposited in the bones, preserving bone density and structural integrity as we age.
• Enhancing muscular capabilities: Vitamin D3 influences muscle function by binding to vitamin D receptors in muscle tissue. It enhances muscle contraction, coordination, and strength, which can improve overall physical performance and reduce the risk of falls, particularly in older adults. Additionally, vitamin D3 supplementation has been linked to reduced muscle pain and recovery time after exercise, supporting both athletic performance and daily physical activity.
• Managing inflammatory responses: Vitamin D3 plays an anti-inflammatory role by regulating the immune system and modulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This helps the body prevent and manage chronic inflammation, which is linked to a range of health issues, including cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and metabolic disorders. By supporting a balanced inflammatory response, vitamin D3 promotes overall tissue health and reduces the risk of long-term damage caused by persistent inflammation.
• Bolstering immune defenses: Vitamin D3 is essential for a robust immune system. It enhances the function of immune cells such as T cells and macrophages, which are critical for identifying and neutralizing pathogens. Adequate vitamin D3 levels are associated with a lower risk of respiratory infections, autoimmune conditions, and even chronic illnesses like diabetes. Supplementation ensures that the immune system remains vigilant and responsive, especially in populations prone to vitamin D deficiency due to limited sun exposure or dietary intake.

• Take 1 capsule daily
• Does not need to be taken with a meal, as we’ve included extra virgin olive oil in this formula as a fat source to aid absorption. †

• Optimizes calcium absorption to strengthen bones, reduces stress fracture risk during intense training, and supports long-term bone health.
• Enhances muscle regeneration, repair, and metabolism while supporting mitochondrial function to reduce oxidative stress and prevent atrophy.
• Modulates innate and adaptive immunity by influencing immune cell activities, enhancing antimicrobial peptide expression in the respiratory tract, and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine production to reduce inflammation.

• Vitamin D3 50mcg (2000 IU) (as plant-based cholecalciferol)

Other Ingredients:

• Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Hypromellose (Capsule), Candelilla Wax 

We include a high-quality fat source (organic extra virgin olive oil) in this product to aid in Vitamin D absorption even if taken without a meal or other fat source.
