Vitamin D-3 400 IU 10 µg KAL is an ideal supplement for improving bone health and boosting immunity, especially in cases of low sun exposure.
Vitamin D3 deficiency is common in many European countries, even though the body produces this “sunshine vitamin” when the skin is exposed to direct sunlight.
However, the body’s ability to synthesize it is limited by several factors (season, skin pigmentation) and also decreases with age.
An adequate intake is therefore very important for maintaining bone density.
This fat-soluble vitamin is not only essential for bone metabolism but also plays numerous roles in the immune system, calcium metabolism, and muscle function.
Vitamin D3 is essential for bone formation and strength, as well as for mineral homeostasis.

Vitamin D3 experts do not recommend a specific time of day to take it. However, a 2014 study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics* showed that taking vitamin D3 with a meal can aid in the absorption of this vitamin. This study shows thatvitamin D3 absorption is greater when the supplement is taken with a meal containing fatty acids.

During periods of low sunlight, ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are no longer sufficient for the skin to synthesize an adequate amount of vitamin D.
Starting at age 70, vitamin D3 production decreases as the skin becomes thinner. When exposed to the same amount of sunlight, a 70-year-old produces about 25% less vitamin D than a 20-year-old.
This is why vitamin D supplementation becomes necessary.
About 80% of adults are vitamin D deficient. However, it is difficult to determine all the factors that can alter our vitamin D levels. When sunlight comes into contact with the skin, the body starts to make vitamin D. In addition, although some foods such as oily fish contain vitamin D, others are simply fortified with the vitamin. Despite this,…
