Vitagamma® Vitamin D3 1,000 IU tablets

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that is of great importance for health, performance and well-being.It plays a central role in numerous metabolic processes in the body.However, our lifestyle has changed significantly in recent years and many people spend most of their day indoors.This limits natural vitamin D production through sunlight.In addition, we only cover around 10% of our vitamin D requirements through food.In order to prevent undersupply, it can make sense to additionally supply vitamin D from outside.

No prescription is required for this product.

According to the German Nutrition Society (DGE), the required daily requirement for vitamin D is 400 IU (10μg) for infants up to 12 months, and 800 IU (20μg) for children aged 1 and over and adults.The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has set a maximum daily dosage of 4,000 IU for adults and children aged 11 and over and 2,000 IU for children up to 10 years of age as the upper limit for lifelong safe vitamin D intake.

Vitamin D is primarily formed through exposure to sunlight; we can only get around 10 percent of our vitamin D requirements through our diet.A pure food supply can only be achieved if large quantities of fatty fish such as herring, eel and salmon are regularly consumed.

Unfortunately, solariums are no substitute for a lack of sun exposure.Equipping with UV-filters severely limits the amount of UV-B. In the months from April to October, which are usually sufficiently sunny in Germany, it is enough for fair-skinned, young people to sunbathe for 15 minutes several times a week.Due to the body's storage capacity, a supply of vitamin D could be created at least for the first few weeks of autumn and winter.
