Often called the 'sunshine' vitamin, Vitamin D is crucial for the proper absorption and utilisation of calcium, phosphorus and potassium. These in turn help with the absorption of magnesium. This plant based supplement provides a high daily strength vitamin D2, in a reliable and sustainable form. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bone and teeth health, by helping to control blood calcium levels. This also helps maintain proper muscle function whilst contributing to the normal functioning of the immune system and the process of cell division, making it essential for everyday health. Vitamin D helps to reduce the risk of falling associated with postural instability and muscle weakness in the older generations: falling is a risk factor for bone fractures among men and women 60 years of age and older, so a consistent intake is recommended, especially for people with restricted sun exposure. Vitamin D has also been linked with helping with diabetes, SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and mild depression. This handy supplement gives a higher daily intake in one easy-to-take small tablet of vitamin D2, derived from plant-based ingredients.
