When sunlight falls on the body's surface - the skin in our case - it synthesizes to form vitamin D3. It is then circulated in the bloodstream and converts to its active form as a hormone in the kidneys. As the body ages, the skins ability to convert vitamin D3 into the active form is reduced.
Taking one tablet of SunVit-D3 daily will maintain healthy vitamin D3 levels and ensure that your body has enough vitamin D3 to enable you to lead a healthy, happy lifestyle and improve your wellbeing.
Each SunVit-D3 tablet contains 1000IU of vitamin D3, which is a high enough dose to increase your vitamin D3 blood concentration to a healthy level and to maintain that level every day.
Supplementing with 1,000IU - 2,000IU per day will raise blood serums within a few months and allow individuals to benefit from this essential vitamin.
There are two forms of vitamin D - vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Of the two forms, vitamin D3 is considered beneficial to the body as it controls the level of calcium and phosphorous in the blood, which is vital for bone development and growth. It can be stored in the body tissue until it is required.
D2 on the other hand is not a natural form in the human body as plants and other invertebrates synthesize it. It is not as easily absorbed by the receptors in the body and as a result does not have the same effect as D3. Vitamin D3 has the longer shelf life of the two.
"I work in an office and am always using sunscreen as I'm worried about the effects of the sun on my skin. Taking SunVit-D3 has increased my vitamin D3 levels."
