Why Supplement with Vitamin D?

Many individuals do not get enough vitamin D from food alone.

Did you know, Vitamin D is considered a nutrient of public health concern? This is because many Americas are not getting enough vitamin D in their diets and low intakes can affect overall health.

This is partly because natural food sources of vitamin D are limited and not always appealing. They include cod liver oil, liver and some types of fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon, and sardines. In the US, milk but not all dairy products, is fortified with vitamin D. It is important to check the label on products like cheese and yogurt to see if they were made with fortified milk.

The RDA for vitamin D is currently 15-20 mcg/day depending on age.

However, this level was established based on the amount of vitamin D needed to maintain bone health. Many health experts argue that higher intakes of vitamin D are necessary for overall optimal health. A daily intake of 50 mcg (2,000 IU) is frequently recommended for most healthy adults.

With 2000 IU of Vitamin D (as D3 Cholecalciferol) per serving, these tasty gummies are a great way to take your Vitamin D. Sunlight is a main source of Vitamin D and people who live in northern climates may have inadequate exposure to sunlight in order to produce sufficient Vitamin D. Also, Vitamin D absorption may decrease as we age.

These gummies contain 3 different fruit flavors: strawberry, orange and lemon. Adults may take 2 gummies daily.

Directions:

For adults, chew two (2) gummies daily, preferably with a meal.
