D35 vitamin D3 35 μg 180 stk

It may be difficult to get enough Vitamin D through your diet. The most important Vitamin D source is the sun’s UV rays. However, as the number of sunshine hours in Denmark is very low in the autumn and winter months, a dietary supplement may be relevant.

Vitamin D is important for your body’s absorption and metabolism of calcium, for strong bones and muscles and for your immune system. In addition, Vitamin D contributes to a normal calcium content in your blood and has an impact on cell division. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, and dietary supplements must be ingested with meals containing fat for the body to absorb the vitamin.

Danish Health Authority recommends a daily Vitamin D supplement for everyone during the months of October through April. In addition, the following specific recommendations apply:

• 5-10 μg of Vitamin D per day during the above months for adults and children aged 4+. 
• 10 μg of Vitamin D per day throughout the year for infants (from 2 weeks old) and small children (until the age of 4) 
• 10 μg per day throughout the year for the following groups:
  • pregnant women
  • children and adults with dark skin
  • children and adults not getting enough sunlight on the skin during the winter months and not exposing arms and legs to the sun in summer. 
• 20 μg of Vitamin D plus 800-1,000 mg of calcium per day throughout the year for the following groups:
  • adults aged 70+
  • persons in assisted living conditions (regardless of age)
  • persons with an increased risk of osteoporosis (regardless of age)

Vitamin D is extracted from the fat in sheep’s wool (lanolin).
