Vitamin D3 Drops - 20ml

In the orthomolecular world, the importance of high doses of vitamin D has been known for quite some time. Gradually, an abundance of unambiguous research results is also convincing national and European government institutions. Both the recommended daily allowances and the maximum permitted dosages continue to rise. This product contains approximately 700 drops of 5 µg vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol, from sheep's wool fat), enough for 350 doses of 10 µg for babies and children or 140 doses of 25 µg for adults. The convenient pipette allows for easy and accurate dosing. Vitamin D3 in drop form is ideal because it offers the possibility of using different dosages. This makes this product suitable for the whole family, even for very young children and people who have difficulty swallowing capsules. In addition, the vitamin D3 dosage can easily be adjusted to the season, if desired. Vitamin D3 most effective The most common forms of vitamin D (calciferol) are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Ergocalciferol is a plant-based form, while cholecalciferol comes from an animal source, but is also produced by humans in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet light, such as the sun (hence the nickname 'sunshine vitamin'). These forms of vitamin D are converted in the liver into the metabolite calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D). Calcidiol is converted as needed in the kidneys and other cells and tissues into the biologically active hormone calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). In terms of supplementation, however, it is important to know that vitamin D3 in most cases appears to be more effective than vitamin D2 in increasing calcidiol in the blood and ultimately calcitriol. Vitamin D requirements Vitamin D can be produced in the skin, but for many in the Netherlands, this is something that does not work well. To do this, one must be outdoors for at least 15 to 30 minutes every day between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. While many people have jobs where they are not outdoors during these hours. Moreover, the weather can often be bad. And if people do get sun exposure with uncovered skin, the skin is soon covered with sunscreen. Furthermore, the sun is not powerful enough in the months of November to May. Most people therefore do not produce enough vitamin D (especially in these months) and do not get enough from their diet. Many vitamin D experts also believe that the optimal vitamin D level is higher than indicated in regular advice. They believe that everyone's calcidiol level should be at least 75 nanomoles per litre of blood (nmol/l), while the Health Council considers 30 nmol/l (or 50 nmol/l from 70 years of age) to be sufficient. The nutritional standards and supplementation advice for vitamin D are based on this. The function of vitamin D in the body Knowledge about the role and importance of vitamin D in the human body has increased enormously in recent decades. Scientists have found receptors for vitamin D in more than 30 different types of tissues and organs, including immune cells, muscles, and bones. This means that vitamin D has a wide range of action and supports health in various ways. It is especially known that vitamin D is good for bones and teeth. Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from food and for maintaining normal levels of both nutrients in the blood. These minerals, in turn, are needed for the mineralization of bones and teeth. Vitamin D is also good for the muscles, because a vitamin D receptor is also found in muscle tissue. Its activation promotes the production of proteins in the muscles, which is important for their function. Vitamin D is also involved in the cell division process and the creation of new cells and tissues. In addition, vitamin D has an immunomodulating, or regulating, effect within the immune system. Vitamin D receptors are found on T-helper cells, a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in certain processes within the immune system. In this way, vitamin D is involved in many ways in the complex immune system. Permitted health claims: is important for calcium and phosphorus absorption for the maintenance of strong bones and teeth good for muscles contributes to the process of cell renewal supports the body's immune system contributes to the normal growth and development of children's bones supports the immune system of children
