- Metagenics provides you with a high degree of reliability and predicted safety in their products. Their complete line of Vitamin D3 formulas are designed for greater absorption, comes in varying dosages to meet your needs, and comes in liquid, tablet, and soft-gel forms to meet your preference.
Why you need it:
- Many people in the U.S. have insufficient levels of vitamin D and there are few foods that are naturally rich in it. Vitamin D helps improve bone density, promotes healthy muscle function, heart health, immune system health, and overall health.
Food products rich in vitamin D:
- Very few foods are naturally rich in vitamin D. Food sources of vitamin D include: eggs, mushrooms, fish, and fortified food products, like dairy products and cereal.
Research:
- Research has shown that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to many acute and chronic illnesses. A serum 25(OH)D level between 40-60 ng/ml has been shown to prevent many diseases, including: breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon cancer, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. Consuming foods rich in Vitamin D and taking the Metagenics Vitamin D3 supplements can help you achieve this serum 25(OH)D level.
