WHAT IS “VITAMIN D3”?

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes in the body. It is naturally produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight and can also be obtained through dietary sources such as fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods. However, many individuals may have inadequate levels of Vitamin D3 due to limited sun exposure or dietary deficiencies.

WHY DO WE NEED IT?

Vitamin D3 is essential for maintaining optimal health and functioning of the body. It plays a vital role in:

• Bone Health: Vitamin D3 is necessary for calcium absorption and bone mineralization, helping to maintain strong and healthy bones and prevent conditions such as osteoporosis and rickets.

• Immune Function: Vitamin D3 supports the immune system by enhancing the function of immune cells and reducing inflammation, helping to protect against infections and autoimmune diseases.

• Mood Regulation: Vitamin D3 plays a role in regulating mood and mental health, with low levels of Vitamin D3 being associated with an increased risk of depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

• Muscle Function: Vitamin D3 is important for muscle strength and function, helping to reduce the risk of falls and fractures, especially in older adults.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET A VITAMIN D3 SHOT?
