ULTRA VITAMIN D
Ultra Vitamin D contains vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol contributing to normal absorption of calcium and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.
Vitamin D has several key functions:
- support to normal functioning of immune system6
- helps absorption of calcium taken with food1
- has a downward regulatory effect on parathyroid hormone level2, decreasing thus bone mass reduction3
- provides for adequate restoration and mineralization of bones4
- has a direct stimulating effect on muscle tissue5 reducing thus the risk of fall
- treatment of vitamin D deficiency is associated with a significant reduction in the number of hip fractures7
- according to clinical data, vitamin D deficiency correlates with an increased risk of developing several CNS diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer\'s and Parkinson\'s disease, schizophrenia, depression8
ADEQUATE INTAKE OF VITAMIN D IS A PREREQUISITE FOR EFFICIENT THERAPY OF OSTEOPOROSIS9
