Description
Vitamin D3 often referred to as the sunshine supplement as our body naturally produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunshine. Due to the winter season, weather conditions, sunscreen and our indoor lifestyle, the bodys ability to produce optimal Vitamin D levels may result in a deficiency in this important nutrient.
Vitamin D - the principal use of Vitamin D is in the prevention of a Vitamin D deficiency. It is a fat soluble Vitamin that the body makes in the skin as a result of exposure to sunlight. Spending a short period of time in the sun each day supplies adequate amounts of Vitamin D. But people confined indoors may not get enough sun to generate sufficient Vitamin D, so need to look at supplementing their diet with Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is more common in the winter months due to the lack of sunshine.
