Vitamin D3 is the biologically active form of vitamin D. When combined with sufficient calcium, a healthy diet, and an active lifestyle, it can help reduce the incidence of osteoporosis.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes vitamin D3 deficiency as a factor for many global health concerns. Statistics Canada reports that 40% of Canadians are vitamin D3 deficient in winter, and 25% during the summer months. New Roots Herbal’s Vitamin D3 Extra Strength provides accurate, proactive dosage to help prevent vitamin D3 deficiency year-round.
Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
Vitamin D3 (calciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin so critical to human health that our skin manufactures it in response to sun exposure. Its role in bone health is well-documented but vitamin D3 receptors are also present and active in a variety of tissues outside of bones, such as in heart muscle cells and arterial muscle cells. This would suggest that vitamin D3 plays a significant role in proper cardiovascular function and blood pressure. In addition, it appears that vitamin D3 improves immune function by increasing the production of anti-microbial proteins that provide a natural defense against disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
