2000 IU- Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)
- Biologically active form of vitamin D, naturally produced by the skin under the action of solar UVB rays. Cholecalciferol is an essential fat-soluble vitamin.
- Absorbed in the small intestine alongside dietary fats, vitamin D3 undergoes a first hepatic hydroxylation then a second renal one before becoming metabolically active. It then interacts with receptors found in many tissues. Without the action of sunlight, obtaining it through diet becomes essential.
- Authorized claim: Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus. (EU Regulation No 432/2012)
