It not only contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth but is also known for its role in supporting normal function of the immune system, normal cell division and normal muscle function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is synthesized by the body on exposure to sunlight. However, many areas of the world receive insufficient sunlight and even in sunny areas, many choose to limit their exposure due to the negative health effects of excessive exposure to the sun's UV rays.

Falling is a risk factor for bone fractures among men and women 60 years of age and older.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eD3 - the preferred ƒ??bioactiveƒ?? form\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra Vitamin D provides effective levels of the preferred form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Ultra Vitamin D provides British Pharmacopoeia quality vitamin D3. D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D because it is the specific form made in the human body and therefore more effective than D2 which is found in some supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D - the sunshine vitamin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile our bodies manufacture vitamin D on exposure to sunshine, the levels in many countries is so weak during the winter months that our body makes little or none at all, meaning that dietary supplements are often the best way to safeguard intakes of vitamin D. Many populations, including the majority of those in Europe, require an additional dietary source of vitamin D to achieve and maintain an adequate status of this important vitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the body does not generate vitamin D when sitting behind a glass window, whether in your car or at home, because these UV rays cannot penetrate glass to generate vitamin D in the skin. Sunscreens, even weak ones, while essential to protect the skin, can affect the body's ability to generate vital vitamin D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D in the diet and health benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is naturally present in some foods (e.g. oily fish such as herring, sardines, fish liver oils, eggs, butter) and in a few foods that are fortified (e.g. margarine, some cereals, some yoghurts). Vitamin D is fat soluble, therefore advice to eat lower fat diets may contribute to reduced intakes from foods and hence dietary supplementation may be needed. In the UK, an average diet provides 3-4 ?æg of vitamin D per day and only a little more if oily fish is consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThere are several reasons why vitamin D supplementation may be especially recommended, including:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment health advice to reduce sun exposure which can mean less Vitamin D is produced naturally by the body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced sun exposure in some groups of the population e.g. older people, those who cover their skin, certain occupations, medical reasons and those with darker skin tones (as greater skin melanin content can reduce the skin's production of vitamin D).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased requirement at certain life stages e.g. the elderly population, whose skin may not be able to synthesise vitamin D as effectively.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose with increased dietary intolerances (e.g. lactose and dairy) or allergies, or on a diet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Ultra Vitamin D provides D3, which is preferred form of vitamin D.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitabiotics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51475660243240,"sku":"299780","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/9594\/9352\/files\/Ultra_Vitamin_D_4000IU__Front__CTUTD096T3EX1E_bc97d344-7523-4744-b1ac-5903ac0b64f5_1024x1024_1.webp?v=1772266586","url":"https:\/\/medparkonline.com\/products\/ultra-vitamin-d-4000iu","provider":"MEDPARK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
