Wellion VITAMIN D3 | 1000 IE

Why is vitamin D3 also called the "sun vitamin"?  

The sun is the main source for sufficient vitamin D3 formation, because under the influence of the sun's rays (UV radiation) our body can produce part of the daily vitamin D requirement itself, from a precursor of vitamin B3, while another part is additionally taken in through food. 

Vitamin D belongs to the fat-soluble vitamins. If you eat foods rich in vitamin D, make sure you combine them with fats so that the body can also absorb and utilise the vitamins. The Wellion Vitamin D3liquid capsules already contain olive oil to enable the best possible absorption. 

Reduced availability can have different causes:

• a reduced biosynthesis with increasing age
• "Sun-deficient" season
• use of sunscreens, e.g. sunblocks

Supplementing a varied diet with food supplements can therefore help.
