ULTRA VITAMIN D 1000 IU | 96 Tablets
Optimum Strength Vitamin D3 Tablets
Ultra Vitamin D 1000 IU (25 µg) provides optimum strength vitamin D, a nutrient that plays a truly remarkable role in the body and is important for many areas of health. It not only contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth but is also known for its role in supporting normal function of the immune system, normal cell division and normal muscle function.
The sunshine vitamin
While our bodies manufacture vitamin D on exposure to sunshine, the levels in many countries is so weak during the winter months that our body makes little or none at all, meaning that dietary supplements are often the best way to safeguard intakes of vitamin D. Many populations, including the majority of those in Europe, require an additional dietary source of vitamin D to achieve and maintain an adequate status of this important vitamin
Huge recent interest in vitamin D
There has been huge renewed interest in vitamin D recently, with new global research showing that the health benefits of this nutrient stretch beyond bone health. There is increasing evidence for the beneficial effects from dietary vitamin D which has shown benefits for its contribution to:
Normal function of the immune system
• Maintenance of normal bones and teeth
• Normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus
• Normal muscle function
• Normal blood calcium levels
• The process of cell division
For adults over the age of 60, it has also been shown that a daily vitamin D intake of 20µg or more from all sources helps to reduce the risk of falling associated with postural instability and muscle weakness. Falling is a risk factor for bone fractures among men and women 60 years of age and older.

There are a number of reasons why vitamin D supplementation may be required including:
– Government health advice on reduced sun exposure which can mean less vitamin D is produced naturally by the body.
– Reduced sun exposure in some groups of the population e.g. older people, those wearing certain religious clothing, certain occupations, medical reasons and those with darker skin tones (as greater skin melanin content can reduce the skin’s production of vitamin D).
