VITAMIN D3 125 mcg (5,000 IU) 60 Softgels by BIOVEA

Usage: The major biologic function of vitamin D3 is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. vitamin D3 aids in the absorption of calcium, thereby helping to form and maintain strong bones. It promotes bone mineralization in conjunction with a number of other vitamins, minerals, and hormones. Without vitamin D3, bones can become thin, brittle, soft, or misshapen. vitamin D3 prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, which are skeletal diseases that result in defects that weaken bones.

Benefits: Research indicates that vitamin D3 may play a role in preventing or reversing coronary disease. vitamin D3 deficiency is associated with an increase in high blood pressure and cardiovascular risk. When researchers monitored the vitamin D3levels, blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors of 1739 people, of an average age of 59 years for 5 years, they found that those people with low levels of vitamin D3 had a 62% higher risk of a cardiovascular event than those with normal vitamin D3 levels.
