Nutricost Vitamin D3 5000iu (125mcg) | Supports Immune, Bone and Hormonal Health | 30 Softgels; Exp 07/2027

Nutricost Vitamin D-3 softgels supply this key vitamin in a highly-absorbable liquid softgel form. Vitamin D is normally obtained from the diet or produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun. However, it is not abundant in food. As more people avoid sun exposure, vitamin D supplementation becomes even more necessary to ensure that your body receives an adequate supply.

Bone and muscle health 

• Bone density: Vitamin D is crucial for calcium absorption, which builds and maintains strong bones and helps prevent osteoporosis and fractures, especially after menopause. 
• Muscle strength: It helps maintain muscle strength, which can reduce the risk of falls. 

Immune function 

• Immune support: Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and reduces inflammation. 
• Autoimmune conditions: It may help protect against autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. 

Pregnancy and reproductive health

• Pregnancy outcomes: Adequate vitamin D may help prevent complications like high blood pressure, high blood sugar (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or GDM), and preterm birth. 
  
• Cesarean section: Some research suggests low vitamin D levels may be associated with a higher risk of cesarean delivery. 
  
• Hormonal balance: It may play a role in regulating the menstrual cycle and is important for the reproductive system's function. 
  

Other potential benefits

• Heart health: It can help protect against cardiovascular disease by supporting healthy blood vessels and cholesterol levels. 
  
• Mood: Vitamin D is linked to brain health and can influence mood-related neurotransmitters, potentially helping with mood regulation and conditions like depression. 
  
• Cancer prevention: Some research suggests a link between adequate vitamin D and a lower risk of certain cancers, including breast cancer. 
  
• PCOS: Studies indicate that vitamin D supplementation could help improve symptoms and fertility in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
