Whole Formulas Vitamin D3 2000 IU, 1 fl oz

Whole Formulas Vitamin D3 contains 2000 IU (International Units) of vitamin D3 per serving. Vitamin D is casually referred to as the “sunshine vitamin” due to the fact that 80-90% of vitamin D levels in the body are obtained through sun exposure (ultraviolet rays, which are converted by the liver to its active form). Vitamin D3 supplementation is chemically comparable to the form synthesized by the body, as opposed to vitamin D2 (pre-vitamin D).

This fat-soluble vitamin functions as a hormone precursor and plays a crucial role in many essential processes, including proper intestinal calcium absorption and bone health, immune system activity and the promotion of optimal neuromuscular function. There are a few foods, such as herring, sardines and fortified cereals, that contain vitamin D, but for many they are not an adequate source of this vitamin. Many individuals choose to consult with a physician and begin taking vitamin D during the winter, when sunlight exposure becomes less frequent.

Bone Health

Vitamin D is essential for promoting calcium absorption and supporting the skeletal structure by maintaining appropriate calcium and phosphate serum concentrations.

Immune Function

Vitamin D modulates immune system function and may work by “activating” immune defenses (T cells) which fight off pathogens.

The Benefits of Herbal Extracts:

Potency

The herbs used in Whole Formulas extracts are picked at the peak of their growth cycle to ensure maximum potency, then processed immediately upon receipt to capture their inherent vitality. Extracts are often the preferred choice of herbalists and naturopaths for this reason.

Bioavailability

Due to common digestion issues, many people have trouble fully breaking down pills and tablets. With extracts, the plant material has already been processed during formulation. All that remains is the full-spectrum of potent active nutrients ready for absorption.

Convenience

Simply place the recommended dose in water or juice and drink. The built-in dropper cap makes it easy to control dosage.
