Puritans Pride Vitamin D-3 250mcg (10 000 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 some products of animal and vegetable origin. 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, do a blood test for this substance. At the next stage, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in the kidneys is converted into the active form (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol), which performs 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 is sufficiently exposed to the sun.

What functions does vitamin D perform in the body?

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

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

The growth of cells. Vitamin is actively involved in the process of cell growth and renewal. The hormone calcitriol helps the body protect 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 cancer of the prostate, brain. Topical use in psoriasis reduces scaliness of the skin.

The immune system. The content of the component determines the functioning of the bone marrow, which is responsible for the production of immune cells. With sufficient concentration in the body, the immune system is maintained.

Glands of internal secretion. Vitamin D3 normalizes the synthesis of insulin. Therefore, the component is needed to normalize the level of glucose in the blood.

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

In the human body, vitamin D3 is transformed first in the liver and then in the kidneys to become active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Official publications generally state that ergocalciferol and cholecalciferol act in the same way. Alternative medicine says that vitamin D3 is absorbed better than D2. 

Vitamin d overdose D is extremely unlikely. It is possible only if you take doses of more than 10,000 IU 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, and it did not harm them. However, it is better to take a small dose every day than a large one every few weeks. 

The product is tested in the laboratory for compliance with strict standards of quality and purity of ingredients.
