AOR Vitamin D3, 1000IU, 120 Vegi-Capsules

UVB exposure to the skin epidermis produces vitamin D, which then undergoes hydroxylation first in the liver and then in the kidneys to produce the active hormone 1, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D. 1, 25(OH) D is responsible not only for bone development and growth in children and maintenance of bone in adults, but also for the prevention of osteoporosis and fractures in the elderly. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient, and shortages in the body are a risk for many people. D3 provides enough of this important vitamin to prevent you from joining the ranks of the deficient.

The term vitamin as applied to vitamin D is inaccurate because it is synthesized by the skin following exposure to sunlight. Synthesis is dependent upon numerous factors including the type of ultraviolet and intensity, duration of exposure, skin pigmentation, age, altitude, latitude, hour of day and time of season.
