Description

Although it is always said that ergocalciferol or vitamin D2 is of plant origin and cholecalciferol or vitamin D3 is of animal origin, we can also obtain the latter from raw materials of plant origin, bearing in mind the importance that its efficacy level of the different functions it performs in the body is higher compared to vitamin D2. Thus, Life Pro Vegan Vitamin D provides the most active form of Vitamin D, in the form of D3, from a vegan source, responsible and sustainable as are the algae cultivated in Europe from which this material is obtained under control of its quality and purity.

Although it is known that Vitamin D3 is necessary for bones, also exerts an essential function at the level of the immune system, so the Vitamin D3 Vegan 4000UI LifePro is designed to promote our bone health and strengthen our defenses.

As a fact to highlight, it is common to present a serum vitamin D deficiency during certain times of the year or in less sunny areas, however, the reality is that living in a sunny area does not guarantee that we do not have a deficit of this vitamin, since not all people sunbathe directly or indirectly, and even at certain stages of life, such as postmenopausal women, the need for vitamin D may be increased.

Composition:

Microcystalline cellulose, rice flour, cholecalciferol (vitamin D) and anti-caking agent: magnesium stearate. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose capsule shell.

What is it for:

At the serum level, it is necessary to maintain levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 between 30 and 50 ng/ml (75-125 nmol/L). Levels lower than these can have an impact on the bone by decreasing calcium levels, which is associated with increased secretion of the hormone PTH, which will remodel the mineral content of the bone and decrease bone mineral density, increasing the risk fractures and osteoporosis.

Vitamin D deficiency will also cause muscle weakness and it can negatively affect the nervous system, prostate, breast and/or colon, among others, since these tissues have a vitamin D receptor that requires the existence of this vitamin to perform its functions properly. In fact the 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 metabolite, called 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D, controls up to 200 genes related to cell proliferation and differentiation, and is a potent immunomodulator.

On the other hand, at the level of the cardiovascular system, vitamin D deficiency is associated with congestive heart failure and with levels of inflammatory factors in the blood. 

At the level of mental health, vitamin D deficiency is also associated with an increased risk of suffering from depression.

On the other hand, an excess of vitamin D, taking into account that it is a fat-soluble vitamin and that, therefore, it can be stored in the adipose tissue of the body, causing intoxication, can increase the absorption of calcium and even produce hypertension, as well as other pathologies related to the cardiovascular system, and associated with hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia.

For all this, maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D is beneficial for multiple functions. For this reason and given that, aside from the fact that the greatest source of vitamin D is obtained from the sun, the foods with the highest content of vitamin D are usually of animal origin, without taking into account fortified foods. Thus, in vegan or plant-based diets, vitamin D deficiency may be more frequent than in omnivorous diets.

Vitamin D deficiency is a very common situation at the population level. Life Pro Vegan Vitamin D3 is recommended for all those people who may present this deficit for various reasons.
