Now Foods Vitamin D-3 is a dietary supplement containing 5000IU of cholecalciferol per capsule.

Cholecalciferol – vitamin D3, a vitamin with one of the widest ranges of effects on the functioning of the organism. Outstanding test results based on vitamin D3 can stem from its common deficiencies, which the lion’s share of the society suffers from. VDR, vitamin D receptors placed in most of the organism’s cells, suggest the compound has a hormonal effect. The main source of cholecalciferol is its synthesis from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin.

Efficient calcium management
Vitamin D can regulate blood calcium levels, affecting several important mechanisms. On the one hand, it increases its uptake in the gastrointestinal tract; on the other hand, it modulates the activity of parathyroid glands which produce parathormone, a hormone that participates in calcium management through releasing it from bones to the circulatory system.

Vitamin D exhibits similar properties when it comes to phosphorus; it increases its assimilability and optimises its further management.

Nervous system and brain functions
25(OH)D3 levels in the circulatory system are believed to be inversely proportional to well-being and symptoms of depression. Many people who use supplementation observe an improvement in well-being and more efficient functioning during the day.

As far as well-being is concerned, sleep quality is also worth mentioning; it has an essential impact on the mood and level of energy. Some reports suggest that the sleep of people with a D3 deficiency is less regenerating and does not bring enough rest. Supplementing the deficiency has the potential to solve the problem, improving life quality and the functioning of the whole organism.

Impact on fatty tissue
Studies show that vitamin D has some potential in terms of supporting fat reduction in people who earlier had low D3 levels.

That aspect can be indirectly linked to many of cholecalciferol’s properties, such as increasing adiponectin levels and improving insulin sensitivity, regulating androgen levels, or improving sleep quality.

It is particularly worth attention that it regulates insulin sensitivity in cells. In tests vitamin D exhibits the ability to reduce fasting insulin and to increase sensitivity to it, thanks to which it is possible to use energy more efficiently and to control the body’s condition better.

Health of the circulatory system
Vitamin D is able to regulate blood pressure, as, according to scientific studies, it decreases it only in people who suffer from hypertension. The mechanism that may be responsible for it is the reduction of rennet levels possible thanks to the activation of VDR.

It is also suggested that normal vitamin D levels are capable of reducing the probability of cardiovascular system diseases.

Reducing risk of diseases
An interesting property of cholecalciferol is its ability to reduce the risk of colds and its duration when it occurs.

That is, however, not the end of vitamin D’s influence on reducing morbidity, as it can also potentially reduce the risk of much more serious diseases in future. Among them are neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, depression, and even cancer!

Studies on a large group of people showed a decreased number of deaths irrespective of the cause in the groups that supplemented vitamin D. Who wouldn’t like to enjoy a longer life?

Now Foods Vitamin D-3 is recommended to people who suffer from symptoms of a D3 deficiency or when it’s been confirmed by blood tests. Supplementation is also worth considering in the case of a worse well-being, deteriorated immunity or musculoskeletal system ailments.
