D3

Did you know that about 43% of the Danish population lack vitamin D3? This is mainly because we Danes do not get enough sun or eat enough fatty fish, which are two of the most prominent sources of vitamin D3.

Vitamin D3 is also called "sunshine vitamin" as the sun's rays cause the skin to convert cholesterol into Vitamin D3, and since the Danish weather is not always sunny, we often do not get enough to cover our vitamin D3 needs.

Another source of Vitamin D3 is fatty fish. Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that D3 is stored in fat tissue. It also means that vitamin D3 is best absorbed if it is dissolved in fat, like olive oil. We always use high quality olive oil in our vitamin D3 capsules, which ensures you a readily available source of vitamin D3 and healthy unsaturated fatty acids.

Vitamin D3 is one of the most important vitamins for maintenance of our immune system, while also regulating the calcium-phosphorus balance in our blood and assisting our body with the absorption of calcium. Vitamin D3 is therefore an important part of a strong and healthy bone structure and promotes the formation of bone tissue.

Vitamin D3 also helps to maintain:

• teeth and bones 
• immune system 
• normal cell division 
• normal calcium level in the blood 
• absorption of calcium and phosphorus 
• muscles
