"Rise and Shine!"
Have you heard? Vitamin D known as the, "Sunshine Vitamin" can boost the body's ability to ward off infections, contribute to a strong and healthy heart, help prevent several forms of cancer and protect against autoimmune diseases and diabetes?
Vitamin D is known as the "sunshine" vitamin because it is formed in the body by the action of the sun's ultraviolet rays on the skin. The fat-soluble vitamin is converted in the kidneys to the hormone calcitrol, which is actually the most active form of vitamin D. Decreased vitamin D intake along with not enough sunlight exposure can cause a vitamin D deficiency.
Americans aren’t getting enough vitamin D. In fact, recent research studies suggests that up to 80% of people in the U.S. have insufficient levels of this essential nutrient, which offers a multitude of health benefits.
Why? Lack of sun exposure. Vitamin D is considered the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced as sunlight touches your skin. Our busy workdays keep us indoors most of the time, preventing us from seeing much of the sun. And protective covering such as sunscreens and clothing inhibit vitamin D synthesis.
While modifying your diet is another way to up your vitamin D intake, most people don’t get enough vitamin D from diet alone. Are you getting enough?
Add some sunshine to your day—and your health! Vitamin D plays a major role in protecting your health and is vital for overall well-being. Boost your level of vitamin D with Shaklee Vita-D3 Our vitamin D supplement contains 1,000 IU of high potency vitamin D3, the most potent form of vitamin D.
