Many studies have concluded that vitamin D3 is more effective than vitamin D2 at improving vitamin D status.1,2 Where most plant-based sources provide vitamin D2, D3 1000 Vegan provides the preferred form of vitamin D (D3) produced from a sustainable, non-GMO algal source. The vitamin D receptor is present in almost all human cells, demonstrating vitamin D’s important role in maintaining good health.3 While best known for its ability to promote peak bone mass and maintain bone health in the elderly, vitamin D also contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system.4 Despite its importance to many physiological functions, many Canadians have insufficient vitamin D levels.5 This can result from insufficient sun exposure, wearing covering clothing, limited consumption of vitamin D-containing foods, dark skin colour, advanced age, and low intake of vitamin D supplements.6 With just one convenient capsule daily, this formula helps prevent vitamin D deficiency and supports optimal bone and immune health.
