Pure Encapsulations Vitamin D3 25 mcg (1,000 IU) - 250 Capsules

Vitamin D is essential to your overall health. Contrary to popular belief‚ calcium intake alone isn't enough to support strong bones. In fact‚ your body needs vitamin D3 in order to promote effective absorption of calcium and phosphorous in the intestines. It works with these minerals to support good bone composition‚ keeping your skeleton strong and bones less likely to break. Furthermore‚ it may reduce the level of calcium lost through the urine. While it works best when combined with calcium‚ a supplement like Pure Encapsulations' Vitamin D3 1‚000 IU may also be effective alone.

All of your cells require vitamin D: these include the cells in the colon‚ breasts‚ and prostate. This nutrient may support cellular health by helping maintain a good balance of angiogenesis‚ a physiological process that involves the growth of new capillary blood vessels; in excess‚ this process can lead to health problems. The vitamin may also promote cardiovascular health by maintaining healthy functioning of plasma renin.

Each vegetarian capsule provides 1‚000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3. D3‚ also known as cholecalciferol‚ is the most bioavailable (easily absorbed) form of the vitamin; it's identical to the vitamin D the human body produces naturally through exposure to sunlight. This supplement is a convenient way to ensure sufficient intake if you live in a cold climate or spend most days indoors. Dietary sources include fortified milk‚ eggs‚ cod liver oil‚ and some types of fish.

Take one to five capsules per day with meals. At the recommended dosage‚ one 250-capsule bottle of Vitamin D3 1‚000 IU by Pure Encapsulations should last from 50 days to over eight months.
