The vitamin D receptor is present in almost all human cells, demonstrating vitamin D’s important role in maintaining good health.1 Despite its importance for numerous physiological functions, many Canadians have inadequate levels of vitamin D.2 This may result from insufficient sun exposure, wearing concealing clothing, limited intake of vitamin D-containing foods, dark skin colour, older age, or low vitamin D supplement use.3 With just one capsule daily, this formula helps prevent vitamin D deficiency and may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis when combined with sufficient calcium, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.
