Product Overview
Vitamin D receptors are widely distributed in the body, including colon, prostate, breast and ovary, where it acts to inhibits the excessive growth of body cells and tissues and helps cells mature normally. Vitamin D, because it is also critical to the synthesis and metabolism of serotonin, has a very important role to play in mood, affect, and managing anxiety. This vitamin also has a role to play in proper immune function, thus helping to keep us from developing both acute illnesses and chronic diseases. And of course, Vitamin D3 is integrally involved in the body's calcium metabolism. Interestingly, when Vitamin D3 is present in the body in sufficient quantities, its role is not that of a vitamin, but that of a steroid hormone (like the adrenal and sex hormones). Adequate amounts of vitamin D, an essential, fat-soluble vitamin, come from consistent exposure to sunshine and are difficult to obtain from dietary sources.
Directions: Use ONLY as directed by your health care practitioner- prolonged use of very high doses of Vitamin D3 can lead to hypercalcemia and your blood levels should be monitored.
