Minus Age Vitamin D3, 90 capsules

What is vitamin D used for?

Vitamin D is the most important of the fat-soluble vitamins. We make it ourselves in our skin by exposure to the sun's rays. But unfortunately not enough. Even in summer, half of us have insufficient levels.

Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of muscles, bones, teeth and the immune system. It affects not only our absorption of calcium, but also our immunity.

THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF VITAMIN D

Insufficient levels of vitamin D can lead to problems with bones, teeth, muscles or even our immunity. The minimum recommended level is 75μmol/l, the optimal level is above 110μmol/l. This is very difficult to achieve without taking supplements. Most Czechs suffer from deficiency all winter (but also in summer). The role of vitamin D not only in our immunity is crucial.

THE ROLE OF VITAMIN D3 IN AGEING

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal function of muscles, bones, teeth and the immune system. When it is deficient, muscles and bones weaken. It is a strong musculoskeletal system that prolongs healthy life expectancy. In fact, without healthy exercise, it is impossible to slow down ageing.

KNOWLEDGE FROM A GENERAL PRACTITIONER'S PRACTICE

Most people in the Czech Republic do not have sufficient levels of Vitamin D. Many patients take Vitamin D but do not take enough. Recommendations based on Czech legislation say that patients should take 2000 IU once every two days. However, for the vast majority of patients this dosage is insufficient and in fact they need to take 2000 IU (one capsule) every day, usually from the beginning of September until the end of June.

SCIENTIFIC STUDIES ON VITAMIN D3

According to Behnaz et al, vitamin D deficiency is associated with atrophy (reduction in strength) of muscle fibres, increased risk of chronic musculoskeletal pain, sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) and falls.
