Vitamin D-3 1000 IU by Vitabase

Product Information

Like calcium, Vitamin D is necessary for strong teeth and bones.  Since fewer Americans are drinking Vitamin D-fortified, many Americans are experiencing a deficiency.  

Vitamin D is obtained through foods as well and through exposure to sunlight.  Because of the concern of skin cancer, many have decreased their exposure to the sun.

A deficiency in Vitamin D is a significant problem for post-menopausal women.  Because calcium supplementation cannot reverse osteoporosis alone, Vitamin D is required to boost its absorption rate.  Together, they may reverse or prevent osteoporosis if taken regularly before menopause.  

Low levels of Vitamin D may result in high blood pressure and may also cause calcium buildup in the arteries, which may result in a heart attack or stroke.  Vitamin D deficiency has also been associated with obesity.

Vitabase Vitamin D contains a more absorbable form of Vitamin D, cholecalciferol.
