Now Foods Vitamin D-3 5000 IU 120 Supports Muscle, Immune System and Brain Function 120 Chewables
- The main role of vitamin D is to maintain the correct level of calcium and phosphorus in the body. It also affects bone development and maintaining their proper strength. Additionally, it supports the functioning of muscles, skin, immune system and brain.
Vitamin D-3 Chewable by NOW® provides this essential vitamin in a convenient lozenge. The body normally obtains vitamin D from food or produces it (synthesis) in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet radiation contained in sunlight.
However, in the summer, this synthesis is limited due to the use of cosmetics with UV filters and it is recommended for the elderly and pregnant women to avoid excessive exposure to the sun. In the fall and winter, synthesis is limited due to reduced sunlight.
- half a lozenge contains 2500 IU of vitamin D-3
- helps maintain healthy bones and teeth
- helps in proper muscle function
- for dietary management in diagnosed vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency
