VITAMIN D3

Vitamin D3 is also known as “sunshine vitamin” because it is produced in the skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D is a nutrient you need for good health. It helps your body absorb calcium, one of the main building blocks for strong bones. Together with calcium, vitamin D helps protect you from developing osteoporosis, a disease that thins and weakens the bones and makes them more likely to break. Your body also needs vitamin D for other functions like muscles and nerves to carry messages between your brain and body, as well as helping the immune system to fight off invading bacteria and viruses.
