Burgerstein Vitamin D3 600 I.U. Capsules, 100 ST

Supports the immune system and bones in a natural way. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, which our skin synthesises from cholesterol when exposed to the sun (UV-B).

Vitamin D contributes to the absorption of calcium and to the normal function of the immune system. It also supports the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function in adults. In children, vitamin D is required for healthy growth and bone development.

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that our skin synthesises from cholesterol when exposed to the sun (UV-B). Vitamin D3 is activated in the liver and further converted into calcitriol in the kidneys.

• Cholecalciferol (also known as colecalciferol or calciol for short) is the most important physiological form of vitamin D in humans. Cholecalciferol is the precursor of active vitamin D, which plays a central role in the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism. It is used as a monopreparation to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency. In combination with calcium, it is used to treat osteoporosis. Cholecalciferol is converted in the body into the active ingredient calcitriol.

Who is Burgerstein Vitamin D3 particularly suitable for?

• Older people: With increasing age, the body's own vitamin D production is less efficient. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth as well as normal muscle function.
• Children: Vitamin D is needed for healthy growth and bone development in children. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system in children.
• For all people who spend little time outdoors: Vitamin D3 is formed naturally in the skin under the influence of UV rays. In our latitudes, the sun's rays in the winter months are not intense enough to produce sufficient vitamin D.

Did you know that...

• Vitamin D3 is also called the sun vitamin? Vitamin D3 is produced naturally in the skin. However, this only occurs when there is sufficient UV radiation intensity (e.g. summer months).
• Vitamin D3 plays an important role in the absorption and utilisation of calcium in the bones?
• calcium and vitamin D help to reduce the loss of bone minerals in postmenopausal women? Low bone mineral density is a risk factor for bone fractures caused by osteoporosis.
• calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone metabolism - but cannot fulfil all the requirements for the formation of healthy bones?
