It is also required for the absorption and utilization of phosphorus and calcium, which are two important components of bones. When vitamin D3 is combined with calcium and regular exercise, it helps reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\tStudies show vitamin D3 is essential for long-term health and it is important to prevent risk of vitamin D deficiency. There are several sources of vitamin D including: synthesis in the skin after exposure to the sun’s UV rays, some foods, food fortification, and supplementation. Deficiency may occur if one does not get enough vitamin D in their diet or have limited exposure to the sun (due to working indoors, avoiding or protecting from the sun, or living in the northern regions of Canada).\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\tBiomed's Vitamin D3 drops are high dose (1000 IU per drop) with a natural lemon flavour in a healthy MCT (Medium chain triglycerides) oil base..\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\tWhat is Vitamin D3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\tVitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is manufactured in the body and stored in fat cells after the skin is exposed to UV-B rays from direct sunlight. Vitamin D3 is best known for bone health and regulating immune function. In addition, vitamin D3 is the biologically active form and is widely involved in other vital biological processes within the body. Deficiency can be associated with loss of bone density, osteoporosis and ‘brittle’ bones, lower back pain1 , and muscle weakness, increased susceptibility to infection, autoimmune disease2 (including MS), and certain types of cancer3.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\tVitamin D3 for Building Strong Bones\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tDevelopment, growth, and maintenance of strong bones and teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tCalcium regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tAbsorption of calcium and phosphorus from the small intestine and      kidneys\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tBone density \u0026amp; mineralization\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tReduce the risk of developing osteoporosis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\tVitamin D3 for Facilitating Healthy Immune Function\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t Proper immune function\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t Modulate adaptive and innate immune responses\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t Vitamin D receptors on immunological cells (B-cells, T-cells and antigen      presenting cells)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t Stimulate NK lymphocytes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\t Enhance suppressor T-cell activity\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\tRisk Factors for Vitamin D Deficiency:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tAdults 50 years and older4\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tPregnancy \u0026amp; breastfed infants\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tLimited sun exposure (indoor, clothes)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tHigher melanin pigment in darker skin tone5 can block UV-B rays\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tSunscreen use can block up to 98% of UV-B rays6\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tSeason and geographical location\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tCloud cover and pollution\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003e\r\n\t\tIntestinal absorption issues\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n","brand":"Biomed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42622972100779,"sku":"11370-DiscoSupplier","price":22.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/4126\/8139\/products\/Bio-Med-D3-Drops_89f8bcee-d54c-4bae-ab3e-23adbbc71d69.jpg?v=1716074611","url":"https:\/\/www.vitamart.ca\/fr\/products\/biomed-vitamin-d-drops-536-drops-of-sunshine-15ml-new","provider":"Vitamart.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
