NOW Vitamin D3 1,000IU 180 chewables

NOW® Chewable Vitamin D-3 supplies this key vitamin in a tasty chewable form. Vitamin D is normally obtained from the diet or produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun. However, it is not abundant in food. As more people avoid sun exposure, vitamin D supplementation becomes even more necessary to ensure that your body receives an adequate supply. Vitamin D enhances intestinal absorption and metabolism of the dietary minerals calcium, magnesium, phosphate and zinc, and therefore plays a crucial role in skeletal health. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with low bone mineral density. Vitamin D also supports healthy immune system function, and recent research shows that it may play a role in normal cardiovascular function as well.
