Vitamin D3 Tablets

MaxiNutrition Vitamin D3 tablets, often considered a hormone rather than a vitamin due to vitamin D being responsible for regulating phosphate and calcium in the body. Officially, vitamin D is classed as a fat-soluble vitamin which is obtained in part, from the diet but mostly from direct sunlight. Depending on seasonal changes, geographical location and lifestyle, the vitamin D availability can become compromised. Along with the regulatory function, Vitamin D has a host of other beneficial attributes, including:

• Contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

The reference nutrient intake (RNI) for vitamin D is 10mcg per day for anyone over the age of 1. The NHS suggest that vitamin D deficiencies do occur and supplementation with 10mcg/d should be considered. Based on the scientific literature, active individuals at risk of a deficiency may benefit from supplementing with a higher dose.
