GN Vitamin D3 5000IE - 60 Capsules

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 is an essential vitamin that is involved in various processes in the human body. Vitamin D is also known as "calciferol" and is different from other micronutrients, vitamins and the latter elements because we can only get it in limited amounts from our daily diet. Instead, vitamin D3 must be produced by the human body itself under the influence of external factors. It occurs when ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by the sun hit human skin. The sun's rays activate the body's own synthesis of vitamin D, and the human body can fully benefit from this vitamin. Another way to ensure vitamin D3 levels is to take supplements that contain the active ingredient.

Positive effect on vitamin D3

According to scientific studies, the positive effects of optimal vitamin D levels can be very significant. Research has shown that vitamin D, especially in combination with the mineral calcium, plays a critical role in maintaining strong, healthy and durable bones and teeth (1, 2, 3). In addition, vitamin D3 is necessary to maintain normal muscle function in the body. One study demonstrated that it promoted muscle development in study participants and significantly improved muscle coordination in test subjects (4). Vitamin D3 also plays an important role in general well-being and the immune system. Research shows that it is involved in the normal functioning of various processes in our immune system and significantly affected the overall well-being and mood of participants in a scientific study (5, 6).

Vitamin D3 in society

As mentioned, vitamin D3 can be produced in the body with the help of the sun, so many people logically believe that vitamin D deficiency is relatively rare in the general population. However, a large-scale study has shown the exact opposite. According to the results of the study, a significant part of the population in Germany suffers from more or less severe vitamin D deficiency (7). This is probably due to the fact that the intensity and hours of sunlight have decreased, especially in the cooler months. Therefore, it is important to have your vitamin D levels checked regularly. In this way, deficits can be eliminated or reasonably resisted.

Vitamin D3 deficiency can cause very different and sometimes really serious consequences (8, 9). The most common symptoms usually include nonspecific symptoms such as increased fatigue, incapacity, decreased performance, lack of motivation, depressed moods, and increased susceptibility to illnesses such as colds or flu (8). However, severe and long-term vitamin D deficiency can even lead to loss of skeletal bone mass under certain conditions. One study showed that this loss of bone mass can sometimes lead to significantly more unstable and fragile bones. Logically, such disturbed bone structure was associated with an increased risk of injury and fracture in the people studied (8, 9, 10).

Therefore, vitamin D3 has a significant impact on health and the maintenance of many important processes in our body. However, given that we depend on the sun for optimal levels of vitamin D3, supplements may be especially helpful in our latitudes. As always, it is essential to choose a product that is convincing in both dosage and quality. Here too, GN chooses the best quality so that nothing interferes with the optimal effect.
