Optimize Levels of The Sunshine Vitamin…
Maintaining optimal circulating vitamin D levels in the body is a challenge for many people - especially in the cooler months and winter. This is because your body needs sunlight to make vitamin D.
TrueD3™ can be used to help you maintain optimal levels of vitamin D3. Each capsule provides 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 that is sourced from Switzerland.
The D3 form of vitamin D is preferred as a supplement because it has been shown to be about 300% better at raising vitamin D levels, and is the form of vitamin D your body uses the most.
Other research has found that supplementing with vitamin D2, appears to decrease vitamin D3 levels in the body.
For many years, vitamin D has been associated with good bone health, now we know it plays many roles in the body. Maintaining optimal vitamin D levels is important for heart health, joint health, blood sugar health, immune health, brain health and more.
In fact, emerging research also suggests that individuals who maintain higher levels of vitamin D in their body may age more slowly than people with low levels.
