Description BioLife High strength One-a-day chewable Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) Research continues to highlight the importance of Vitam D3 for a healthy lifestyle.  The primary functions of Vitamin D are stimulation of calcium and magnesium absorption, two minerals that are essential for strong bones and necessary for the assimilation of Vitamin A. This is especially true among the very young where it is used to treat rickets and in combination with Vitamin A for the treatment of osteoporosis in the elderly, particularly post menopausal women who are often subject to fractures due to loss of bone density. Without sufficient levels of D3 in the blood, proper bone development and muscle contraction cannot take place. A Vitamin D3 deficiency will lead to serious medical conditions including malnutrition and metabolic bone disease. The latter may not show signs until a broken arm or leg occurs. Vitamin D3 is produced by the action of sunlight or ultraviolet light, but in the northern hemisphere we do not get constant sunshire (indeed this summer we have had less than usual.)  Therefore, supplementation of Vitamin D3 may help to ensure we maintain necessary levels of this essential Vitamin. Research continues to highlight the importance of Vitam D3 for a healthy lifestyle.  Areas of our body, including breast, brain, prostate and colon tissue have receptor cells that are activated by the precursor form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D is available as a supplement in two forms - D2 and D3 (Cholecalciferol.) D3 supplements are of the same type as created in our body by sunlight and raise serum levels of the nutrient 2 to 3 times higher than the same dose of D2. Reports in the Daily Express (8th November) say that scientists at Kings College, London have found that higher levels of Vitamin D3 have a protective role in age related disease and can contribute to slowing the aging process.  Scientist looked at a part of DNA known as telomeres, these are biological markers which are stuck onto strands of DNA and as we get older these telomeres shrink. This study found that people with higher levels of Vitamin D had longer telomeres, which protects against disease. Since this research was published there has been a constant stream of research data available highlighting how much our health is influenced by sufficient levels of Vitamin D.  Features BioLife Vitamin D is high potency one a day Contains 25mcg (equivalent to 1000iu) of Vitamin D3 One a day will provide an optimum level of this essential vitamin.
