Vegan Vitamin D3 1000ie | 60 capsules

What is vitamin D3? Vitamin D is a vitamin that is mainly produced when your skin comes into contact with the sun. That's why vitamin D is also known as the sunshine vitamin. To produce sufficient vitamin D in the skin, it is important that you are outside at least 15 to 30 minutes every day. The time of day when you're outside makes a difference: the sun's most powerful rays reach you between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. And those are often the hours we spend indoors, for example at work. In addition, the sun's rays are much less powerful in the Netherlands in the autumn and winter months. The sun is too low then. Fortunately, we can also get vitamin D through food or a supplement. In what food is vitamin D? Vitamin D is mainly in animal products such as fish, eggs and meat. In the Netherlands, margarines and halvarines enriched with vitamin D, but oil such as olive oil or coconut oil. When to take a vitamin D supplement? Vitamin D through the diet can get, but through your food you get only minimal amounts.

And for some groups of people a vitamin D supplement is recommended all year round, for example: Pregnant women; People with tinted skin; People who do not get enough sun; Women over 50; Men over 70. Especially if you eat vegetarian or vegan and don't get much sun, it can be useful to supplement your diet with a vitamin D supplement during the winter months. Absorbing vitamin D from food is even more difficult when you do not eat animal products. What is vitamin D good for? The health benefits of vitamin D are manifold. Vitamin D: Is good for the bones.
