Pharma Nord Bio-Vitamin D3 5000 IU

Are you getting enough Vitamin D3?

Chances are you are not. Current figures estimate that over 50% of people worldwide are deficient in Vitamin D3 - this is even higher the older you get and if you have dark skin. But it's not just age related, recent figures from the US claim that children aged from 6 - 11 years are 70% deficient. We produce Vitamin D3 naturally when our skin is exposed to ultraviolet light. Sadly, our modern lifestyle can mean that our natural levels of Vitamin D3 are lacking - even wearing sunscreen can block natural production.

Here are some signs that you could be VitaminD3 deficient:

• If you are over 50 years of age (95% of US senior citizens are deficient and there is a link between D3 deficiency & the brain)
• You have darker skin - you are at risk if you have increased pigmentation with heritage from the Middle East, India & Africa
• If you are overweight and/or obese your fat cells 'collects' Vitamin D3 leaving depriving the rest of your body. The more you weigh - the more Vitamin D3 you need.
• If your bones and joints ache
• If you feel sad
• Intestinal problems such as Crohn's, celiac and gluten sensitivity affect your body's absorption of Vitamin D3
• If your head sweats - apparently a classic sign!

What can I eat too improve my Vitamin D3 levels?

That’s the problem - you can't! It's not diet related, you can't eat a particular fruit or vegetable - but you can take this supplement. Vitamin D3 is a hormone made in the skin by the action of sunlight on cholesterol - that’s why supplementing - especially here in the Northern Hemisphere is vital to you and your family's health because it is practically impossible to make enough Vitamin D3 between October and March!

Why should I take Pharma Nord Bio-Vitamin D3 5000 IU?

IU stands for International Units and it relates to a measurement for drugs and vitamins. We did lots of research, and the Scientists at Pharma Nord confirmed to us, as did the Vitamin D Council - to achieve their recommendations that an adult should take 5,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 for the rest of their life. Now obviously we are all different, our body weight, our ethnicity, our age - all have a direct effect on the baseline of our Vitamin D3 levels, but we know for sure that this level dosage is safe and will not harm you - and we think the health benefits are vital!

You will blossom with this vitamin D supplement!
