Vitamin D 5000 IU 120 Capsules

Vitamin D plays a major role in helping your bones stay healthy. Without it, you could end up getting diseases associated with vitamin D deficiencies, such as rickets or osteomalacia. Rickets can cause your bones to become deformed, while osteomalacia can lead to weak bones and muscles. Vitamin D is also an important nutrient because it might also help prevent you from developing other serious conditions, such as:

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Autoimmune diseases, which occur when your immune system destroys healthy cells
• Certain forms of cancer
• Osteoporosis, which is a disease that causes your bones to become brittle.

Your body needs vitamin D, phosphorus, and calcium in order to keep your bones strong. Since vitamin D helps you absorb phosphorus and calcium, it’s essential that you get sufficient amounts of it. Although your body is able to produce vitamin D when you’re out in the sun for as little as 10 minutes a day, certain factors—like wearing sunscreen, northern climates, or busy indoor work schedules—can prevent this from happening. You can also get vitamin D from certain foods (including eggs, fish, and fortified milk), but it’s hard to get enough of it from dietary sources. Relying on a vitamin D supplement, like Ortho Molecular Products’ Vitamin D 5000 IU capsules—can help you get the amount you need.

Vitamin D supplements contain either vitamin D-2 (ergocalciferol) or vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol). Plants make vitamin D-2, and humans and animals make vitamin D-3. Ortho Molecular Products uses vitamin D-3 in its supplements to ensure the highest level of bioavailability. By taking a daily dose of vitamin D, your body will be getting enough of this vital nutrient for bone maintenance.

One bottle of Vitamin D 5000 IU by Ortho Molecular Products provides enough capsules to last you for about four months at the recommended dosage of one capsule per day. It’s recommended but not required that you take this supplement with meals.

Ortho Molecular Products prides itself on making effective supplements from scientifically designed formulas. For over 20 years, they’ve been providing proven products with superior raw ingredients.
