NOW Foods Vitamin D-3 5000 IU – 120 Softgels – High Potency

What is vitamin D3 and why is it important?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in numerous bodily functions. Although it is known as the "sunshine vitamin", many people do not get enough sun exposure to meet their needs, especially during winter months or in areas with low light. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the most bioavailable form and the one the body naturally produces when the skin is exposed to the sun. This NOW Foods supplement provides 5000 IU of vitamin D3 per softgel, a high dose for those who need an additional boost. Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, the maintenance of normal bones, and the normal functioning of the immune system.
