Description
Vitamin D3 50000 IU Clinical Potency
TECHNICAL SUMMARY
The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain healthy blood levels
of calcium and phosphorus.* Vitamin D supports bone health by
promoting calcium absorption and bone mineralization.* Vitamin D also
plays an important role in immune function and helps to regulate cell
growth and differentiation.*
ROLE AS NUTRIENT/FUNCTION
The function of vitamin D3 in the body is well established; it allows for the
tight regulation of calcium levels in the blood, as well as phosphate
homeostasis.* In addition, more recent discoveries have shown that
vitamin D is also involved in many other bodily functionssuch asregulation
of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, immunomodulation, and
cardiovascular health.*
CLINICAL VALIDATION
Bone Health Support*
• In a randomized, placebo‐controlled study with women aged > 49
years who were vitamin D deficient, vitamin D3 supplementation
(4,000 IU/day for 6 months), without changing calcium intake,
resulted in statistically significant improvement in the markers of
bone turnover (osteocalcin and C‐telopeptide) as compared to
placebo.*
Immune System Support*
In a large epidemiologicalstudy in which data from 45‐year‐old adults
living in the UK was analyzed, the rate of respiratory events relative
to strong seasonal pattern had an inverse relationship to the pattern
for 25(OH)D concentrations. After adjustment for adiposity, lifestyle,
and socio‐economic factors, each 4 ng/mL (10 nmol/l) increase in
25(OH)D was associated with a 7% lower risk of respiratory event
(Figure 2).*
