Puritans Pride Vitamin D-3 125mcg (5000 IU) 200 Softgels

Vitamin D3 belongs to the group of vitamins D - fat-soluble compounds and is synthesized under the influence of ultraviolet rays. It can also be obtained from certain animal and vegetable products. Further in the liver, this vitamin is converted into 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH). To find out whether the human body is well saturated with vitamin D, a blood test is made for this substance. At the next stage, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in the kidneys is converted into the active form (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol), which does the main work. Thus, after synthesis in the skin, vitamin D must undergo transformation first in the liver and then in the kidneys. Chronic kidney disease can cause a deficiency of this vitamin, even if a person gets enough exposure to the sun.

What are the functions of vitamin D in the body?

Vitamins and minerals must be supplied to the body regularly. In case of insufficiency, metabolism and the work of organs are disrupted. Each biologically active substance in the body performs strictly assigned functions. Various organs and systems require vitamin D3.

The skeletal system. The leading role of the component is the absorption of calcium and magnesium minerals, which are necessary for the formation of bone and dental tissue. The assimilation process is stimulated in the internal organs. Vitamin D3 is involved in the exchange of calcium and phosphorus, regulating their concentration. The flow of minerals to bone and dental tissues increases, as a result of which they are strengthened.

Cell growth. Vitamin is actively involved in the process of cell growth and renewal. The hormone calcitriol helps the body defend itself against the development of cancer cells. The ability of vitamin D3 to slow down the growth of oncological neoplasms of the mammary glands and intestines has been proven. The compound has a positive effect in the treatment and prevention of oncological diseases of the prostate and brain. Topical application for psoriasis reduces the scaly skin.

The immune system. The function of the bone marrow, which is responsible for the production of immune cells, depends on the content of the component. With sufficient concentration in the body, immunity is maintained.

Endocrine glands. Vitamin D3 normalizes insulin synthesis. Therefore, the component is needed to normalize blood glucose levels.

Nervous system. The concentration of calcium in the blood is maintained, which is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses. Due to its participation in the absorption of calcium and magnesium, the compound restores the protective sheaths of the nerves. This explains the use of vitamin D3 in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Medicines and dietary supplements can contain vitamin D in one of two forms:

• vitamin D2 - ergocalciferol - is produced with the help of yeast, from plant sources;
• vitamin D3 - cholecalciferol - synthesized from animal products, not suitable for vegetarians.

Both forms of vitamin D are considered equivalent. In the human body, they undergo transformation, first in the liver and then in the kidneys, to turn into active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Official publications usually state that ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol work in the same way. Alternative medicine says vitamin D3 is better absorbed than D2.

Vitamin D overdose is extremely unlikely. It is possible only if doses of more than 10,000 IU are taken per day for many days in a row. Dozens of articles in medical journals describe studies in which people took 150,000 IU at once without doing any harm. However, it is better to take a small dose every day than a large dose every few weeks.

The product has been tested in the laboratory to meet stringent quality and ingredient purity standards.
