Life Vegan D with Vitamin D2D3 (Single) For Immunity

Naturally sourced, whole-food based vitamin D2 and D3 are required for the maintenance of strong bones and normal immune function.

Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, is known as the “sunshine” vitamin because we can make it in the body when ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from sunlight hit the skin. Vitamin D exerts its effects by binding to a protein called the vitamin D receptor. This receptor is present in nearly every cell of the body and affects many different body processes. We also get vitamin D directly from foods, but it is generally difficult to obtain adequate levels from foods alone. Foods with good levels of vitamin D include oily fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel), beef liver, cheese, egg yolks and mushrooms. We typically obtain only about 10% to 20% of our vitamin D from foods. The other 80% to 90% may be produced in the body following exposure to sunlight.

Why a Vitamin D Supplement? 

■ Today’s indoor living lifestyles and use of sunscreens threaten our vitamin D body stores, and a large percentage of people around the world of all ages are low in vitamin D. 

■ We typically only get about 10% to 20% of our vitamin D from the diet as vitamin D is not widely distributed in foods. 

■ Getting enough vitamin D all year round is vital to our optimal wellness and vitality as this vitamin is needed by several body systems and organs. 

■ Both vitamin D₂  and vitamin D₃  are known to be effective.
