Description
Foundational Immune Support Bone Support Gluten Free Dietary SupplementSupports healthy bones and muscles cardiovascular function and immune function.Vitamin D plays an important role throughout life beginning with fetal development. Unlike many vitamin D supplements Thornes contain no lactose or preservatives (BHA BHT sodium benzoate etc). Vitamin D protects a number of important functions in the body. In addition to supporting healthy bones and muscles it supports cardiovascular health and immune function. Although direct sunlight provides natural vitamin D many individuals of all ages especially the elderly do not get enough vitamin D from sunlight and their diet. Vitamin D supplementation can be of great benefit in these situations. However the powders used in many pre-mixed vitamin D dilutions frequently contain potentially detrimental ingredients such as lactose as well as preservatives such as BHT BHA sodium benzoate and sorbic acid. Thornes vitamin D is formulated for individuals who are sensitive to those ingredients. In the United States the current recommended daily intake of 800 IUs vitamin D is based on the minimum amount to protect against bone disease. However an upward revision of this guideline is now being considered in light of current research especially new research regarding immune function. This research suggests serum vitamin D levels should be in the range of 32-80 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D.? The amount of vitamin D needed to achieve minimum vitamin D sufficiency – generally recognized to be a blood level of 32 ng/mL of 25-hydroxyvitamin D – depends on many factors and varies from individual to individual. Thus the requirement for vitamin D supplementation should be individualized. Either D-1 000 or D-5 000 maybe be ideal to maintain an optimal level of vitamin D in healthy individuals. D-10 000 is intended for individuals who need higher vitamin D supplementation and D-25 000 is intended for individuals who need short-term very high vitamin D supplementation.
