Vitamin D-3 400 IU 10 µg KAL 100 capsules

What is KAL Vitamin D3 used for?

Vitamin D3 deficiency is common in many European countries, despite the fact that this "sunshine vitamin" is produced by direct sunlight on the skin.
However, the rate of synthesis within the body itself is limited by several factors (season, skin pigmentation) and declines with age.
Adequate intake is therefore vital for maintaining bone density.
This fat-soluble vitamin is not only essential for bone metabolism, but also fulfils numerous functions in the immune system, calcium metabolism and muscle function.

• Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth (mineralization).
• Vitamin D contributes tonormal calcium absorption andutilization.
• Vitamin D helps maintain normal muscle function.
• Vitamin D contributes to normal immune system function.

Vitamin D3 is essential for bone formation and strength, and for mineral homeostasis.

Vitamin D3 Kal 100 Softgels is recommended for :

• Pregnant women
• Elderly people
• Persistentfatigue.
• Muscular weakness.
• Repeatedfractures.

Vitamin D plays a very important role in bone health. It plays a key role in the ossification process through several mechanisms:

• At intestinal level, it stimulates the absorption of calcium and phosphorus by regulating their levels in the blood.
• In thebone, it binds calcium and phosphorus to promote skeletal mineralization.
• In the kidneys, it increases tubular reabsorption of calcium.

How best to use this vitamin D3?

Take one softgel a day with a glass of water during a meal.

Vitamin D3 specialists don't recommend any particular time of day to take it. On the other hand, a 2014 study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics* showed that supplementing with vitamin D3 during a meal can help the absorption of this vitamin. This study shows thatvitamin D3 absorption is greater when the supplement is taken with a meal containing fatty acids.

Our advice and expert opinions

In periods of low sunlight, ultraviolet B rays are no longer sufficient to synthesize an adequate quantity of vitamin D in the skin.
From the age of 70 onwards, vitamin D3 synthesis is reduced as the skin becomes thinner. Exposed to the same amount of sunlight, a 70-year-old produces around 25% less vitamin D than a 20-year-old.

This is why a vitamin D supplement becomes necessary.
