VITAMIN D3
Vitamin D3 is formed in the skin when it is exposed to the sun’s rays or to UV-B. In the cooler months, the sun is weaker, so exposure to the sun does not give us enough vitamin D. We can cover the deficiency by taking medicines or supplements that contain vitamin D.
Advantages of vitamin D3 capsules
Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones. It plays a key role in the development and maintenance of healthy bones from birth to death. The most common diseases of vitamin D deficiency are osteoporosis and rickets.
Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal function of the immune system. In the coronavirus pandemic, it became even better known how important it is for the activity of the immune system. People who are over 65 years old are most at risk.
Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function. In case of deficiency, muscle pain and reduced muscle strength can occur.
Vitamin D3 contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth. It is important for the growth and maintenance of teeth.
Only 1 capsule daily
Covers 100 % of the daily requirement of sun vitamin D3. Vitamin D is only found in a few foods. We only take in 10 to 20 % vitamin D with our food. The highest amounts are found in salmon, tuna, sardines, beef liver and egg yolk. We can cover the deficiency by taking medicines or dietary supplements that contain vitamin D.
Immune system
- Greater susceptibility to infections because of the weakened immune system
- Exhaustion and fatigue
- Bone, muscle and joint pain
People over the age of 65 are most at risk, as at this age the skin only produces a quarter of the amount of vitamin D it does at the age of 20.
Healthy bones
Its role in maintaining healthy and strong bones has long been known and well researched. A long-term deficiency causes a reduction in bone density in adults, increasing the risk of developing osteoporosis in later life.
As many as 80 % of patients with osteoporosis are women. This is because women are usually lighter than men, they have thinner bones and their bone mass reduces very quickly after menopause.
Foods rich in vitamin D
Vitamin D is only found in a few foods. We do not usually consume sufficient amounts with our food. The richest source of vitamin D is cod oil. One tablespoon of cod oil (cod fish) is sufficient for our daily vitamin D needs.
We also get sufficient amounts of vitamin D by taking one of the foods below every day:
- 15 dag salmon (cooked) or
- 44 dag canned tuna
- 35 pieces of canned sardines
- 1.6 kg of beef liver
- 19 egg yolks
Groups at risk for vitamin D deficiency
- People older than 65 years, because at this age the skin produces only a quarter of the amount of vitamin D compared to the age of 20 years.
- Postmenopausal women, because of the increased risk of osteoporosis.
- People who spend most of their time indoors and have little exposure to sunlight.
- Women who eat diets that are low in vitamin D.
- People with chronic liver, bowel or kidney disease.
- People who take certain medications such as antiepileptic drugs, glucocorticoids.

I’m going to be taking D3 in addition to your Menodea and Brainbiome, because I came across this surprising piece of information (wikipedia) when I was looking for information on vitamin D last year, when it was suddenly so popular: “Vitamin D deficiency, in addition to the above, increases the infiltration of fat into skeletal muscle, which adversely affects muscle strength and can lead to a number of other disorders.” I also take vitamin D because it is said that older skin does not produce enough of the vitamin despite the sun.
