 Supports calcium absorption and bone health, provides potential support for cardiovascular,
colon and cellular health
Vitamin D levels have been shown to decline with age, due primarily to a reduction in either
absorption or metabolism by the liver. Decreased exposure to sunlight, a vegetarian diet, or
a low intake of vitamin D fortified foods also play a role in inadequate vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D promotes intestinal calcium and phosphorous absorption and reduces urinary calcium
loss, essential mechanisms for maintaining proper calcium levels in the body and for healthy
bone composition. Clinical studies involving vitamin D supplementation suggest the importance
of vitamin D in addition to calcium for bone health. Vitamin D supplementation alone may also
support bone health. Vitamin D may also provide cardiovascular support for some individuals,
which may be attributed to its effect on calcium metabolism or possibly by helping to
maintain healthy plasma renin function.
A role for vitamin D in supporting colon health by
promoting healthy cellular function has also been suggested. Vitamin D is also believed to
provide general cellular support potential, including for the breast and prostate, in part
by helping to maintain healthy angiogenesis balance, supporting immune cell activity and
maintaining healthy cell metabolism. Preliminary evidence suggests that vitamin D may also
play a role in maintaining healthy glucose metabolism, since vitamin D receptors are present
on the islet cells of the pancreas.
Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption and retention, a key nutritional role in supporting
healthy bones, and may play a potential role in cardiovascular, colon and cellular health.
