Vegan Vitamin D3 WholeFood, 90 tablets

Vitamin D for healthy bones and a strong immune system

Vitamin D is also known as the ‘sunshine vitamin’. The reason for this lies in the fact that vitamin D can only be produced in the body through exposure to sunlight. Normally, provided you spend enough time outdoors, your requirements can easily be met in this way. However, if you spend little time in daylight over extended periods, or if this is only possible to a limited extent due to the season, a vitamin D deficiency may develop. Vitamin D3 WholeFood supports vitamin D intake and, thanks to its WholeFood formulation, is particularly easily absorbed.

Current note on dosage

The reference values for vitamin D in adults have recently been significantly increased by the DGE, from 5 µg to 20 µg! In this respect, one capsule therefore contains 250% of the daily requirement according to the DGE. However, as online shops are still subject to the scientifically outdated Nutrition Labelling Regulation, we are obliged to state 1000% in our nutrition table!
Here is the current DGE recommendation from 2012.

According to the DGE, adolescents and adults consume only 2 to 4 µg of vitamin D per day through their diet. This falls far short of the estimated intake. The ‘rest’ (around 16 to 18 µg of vitamin D) must be covered by the consumer through vitamin D synthesis in the skin – that is, by spending plenty of time outdoors.

People who spend a lot of time outdoors (athletes, postmen, forestry workers, dog owners, etc.) should therefore be able to meet their vitamin D requirements ‘naturally’.

People who are unable to do so (office workers, catering staff, older people with limited mobility, bedridden patients, couch potatoes …) would be well advised to have their vitamin D levels checked and, if deficient, to replenish them. Illnesses caused by vitamin D deficiency are varied and could be serious.
