Doctor’s Best Vegan D3 features Vitashine D3, a plant source of vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol), needed for the body to regulate phosphorus and calcium levels for bones, teeth and heart protection. Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin by absorbing the sun’s UV rays and is obtained from food in limited amounts. Sun protection and climate factors may influence low Vitamin D3 levels.

Vitamin D3 is beneficial for immune, cardiovascular, bone density and structure, and cellular function. It plays a role in most organs and systems of the body and influences the chemical messengers of the immune system.*

Vitamin D3 has numerous benefits

Over the last several years research has focused on critical functions of this vitamin and the role it plays in most organs and systems of the body. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent with more than 75% of Americans deficient in this nutrient.

A major source of Vitamin D is sunlight but use of sunscreen, limited time in the sun and skin color are factors that make getting sufficient Vitamin D from the sun challenging. Doctor’s Best uses vitamin D3 which is more efficient at converting to active vitamin D in the body.
