This Lamberts Vitamin D 4000iu provides 100µg of this important nutrient in the preferred D3 form and at a strength that is increasingly being recommended to correct deficiencies. These easy to swallow capsules are made in the UK to pharmaceutical GMP standards.
In the UK, the only significant food source of vitamin D is oily fish. Most of our vitamin D comes from the sun. But there is a problem: many people in the UK never get what they need from sunlight alone because sunlight's ability to help us produce vitamin D is hampered by season (it only works in the summer), latitude (the UK is pretty far north), time of day (needs to be between 11am and 3pm), cloud cover (complete cloud cover reduces vitamin D synthesis by 50%), smog/pollution (most of us live in cities), skin melanin content (the darker skinned you are, the less vitamin D you'll get from the sun) and sunscreen (SPF of 8 and above). Even in summer, when vitamin D is most available, it is estimated that 45% of the English population have vitamin D levels of less than 40nmol/L (deficient) and that 75% fail to reach the 'optimal' level of 75nmol/L.
The benefits of Lamberts 4000iu Vitamin D3 capsules
- The natural Vitamin D3 in this product is the same form produced by the body when the skin is exposed to sunlight.
- Easy to take, small capsules
- Pure grade vitamin D3
- Suitable for vegetarians
- Made in the UK
- Our bodies obtain vitamin D from two sources, our diet and from the action of sunlight on our skin which drives the natural production within the body. Vitamin D is increasingly in the news as more and more research highlights the importance of this nutrient.
- If we all had plenty of sun then we would have plenty of vitamin D, but in reality we do need to obtain some from our diet, particularly during the winter months and particularly in the elderly as the body's ability to manufacture vitamin D declines with age. Indeed as many as 60 percent of the UK population is vitamin D deficient and low levels have been linked to serious health problems in later life.
- So whilst it is renowned for its vital role in the maintenance of normal bone health, in reality it actually acts on cells in every organ of the body and has extremely far-reaching effects on human health.
