Vitamin D3 is a steroid vitamin, a group of fat-soluble prohormones best known for supporting bone health and aiding in the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the GI tract. However, a growing body of research highlights its important role in supporting other body systems, including cardiovascular and blood sugar balance.

Vitamin D Depletion
While it has long been assumed that most people achieve adequate levels of vitamin D through sun exposure, the biosynthesis of the nutrient is affected by time of day, season, location, smog/pollution, clothing, and sunscreen.
Bone and Dental Health
Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of vitamin D in maintaining healthy bone density.
Cardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Balance
Given vitamin D's role in a variety of tissues and body systems, it comes as no surprise that much recent research has underscored its contribution to cardiometabolic wellness. Vitamin D has also been shown to support healthy blood sugar metabolism.
Immune Health and Modulation
One of vitamin D's more profound functions is modulating immunity. A recent important study suggested that improving vitamin D status significantly affects the expression of genetic pathways linked to immune activity. Vitamin D has been shown to boost the immune response by up-regulating specific genes.
Musculoskeletal Comfort
Numerous studies also point to the key role of vitamin D in supporting musculoskeletal strength and comfort.
