Vitamin D 1000 IU 100 Tablets

Vitamin D and calcium are two of a kind: the vitamin allows your body to properly absorb and utilize the mineral, promoting bone health. Bones can become brittle, misshapen, or thin without enough vitamin D to support calcium digestion in the gut. It plays an essential role in preventing rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults.

A common source of vitamin D is sunlight: 15 minutes of unprotected exposure daily can provide you with sufficient levels. However, there are several obstacles: every bit of sun exposure without sunscreen contributes to melanoma and other skin cancers, and getting enough isn’t even possible for everyone. What if you’re constantly indoors working, or live in a less-than-sunny climate? In today’s world, it’s far too easy to stay indoors for days on end.

Some foods can also be sources of vitamin D, although the foods that contain it naturally are surprisingly rare. Seafood (especially fatty fish—mackerel, tuna, and salmon) and fish oil are relatively rich in vitamin D; eggs, cheese, and liver also contain small amounts. The majority of vitamin D that people get from food today is from processed products that have the vitamin added artificially. Milk is often fortified with vitamin D, due to the vitamin’s cooperation with calcium. Other popular food sources of vitamin D including fortified orange juice, may provide relatively empty calories that you would prefer to avoid.

That’s where a vitamin D supplement can help! PureFormulas’ Vitamin D tablets pack 1000 IU (international units) of this essential nutrient in one daily dose. It helps you maintain sufficient calcium in your plasma, which prevents your body from having to remove it from your bones.
