Vitamin D

Thorne’s Vitamin D contains 1,000/5,000/10,000 IU of high-quality D3. Although it is well known that direct sunlight is a natural source, many individuals, especially the elderly, don’t get enough from sunlight or from their diet. Be sure you get the D your body needs with Thorne’s easily absorbed product.

Benefits of Thorne’s Vitamin D: 

• Supports healthy teeth and bones
• Promotes lean muscle mass and helps maintain muscle strength
• Enhances the absorption and retention of calcium
• Supports healthy brain function
• Promotes cardiovascular health and immune function
• Formulated with D3, a more potent and better absorbed form than D2
• Thorne’s D contains no lactose and no preservatives like BHT, BHA, sodium benzoate, and sorbic acid

You could be at a higher risk of a vitamin D deficiency if you:

• Rarely go outdoors, live in the northern latitudes, or have a darker skin tone
• Have limited sun exposure due to your occupation, clothing choices, or engage in indoor athletics rather than outdoor sports
• Regularly wear sunscreen with an SPF greater than 8
• Are an older adult (the risk of a deficiency increases with age beginning at age 50)
• Have a chronic health condition, such as a bowel disease or a surgical procedure (like gastric bypass) that decreases fat absorption
• Are obese

The optimal amount of vitamin D for an individual depends on many factors and varies from person to person. Therefore, the requirement for D supplementation should be individualized. Either of Thorne’s D-1,000 or D-5,000 can be an ideal way to maintain an optimal level of D in healthy individuals.
