Vitamin D3, 2000 IU (180 tabs)

Benefits
• Supports bone health.
• Helps maintain the immune system, especially during the cloudy months.

Vitamin D is vital to the health of your skeletal and immune System. The body manufactures this essential vitamin through sun exposure, making it difficult to obtain adequate amounts of vitamin D during the cloudy winter months or when sunscreen is used. *

How It Works
Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 and D3. Of the two, D3 is more bioactive. The body synthesizes vitamin D3 from sunlight;
it cannot be obtained through foods.

In the body, vitamin D is responsible for maintaining normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, helping to build strong bones.

Vitamin D may also contribute to the overall health of the cardiovascular system. Vitamin D works with other vitamins, minerals and hormones to promote bone mineralization.

Research also shows that vitamin D may help support a healthy immune system by regulating lymphocyte function, cytokine production and macrophage activity.

Nature's Sunshine Products (NSP) Advantage
Many companies offer synthetic vitamin D products. NSP Vitamin D3 is completely natural. It is derived from lanolin harvested from BSE-free sheep's wool fat from New Zealand and Australia. You can be assured the sheep do not get hurt. Nature's Sunshine checks their vendors for humane ways of harvesting product from animals for all their products. They inspect the farms before they buy or contract from them. In the case of the sheep shearing, they are hand-sheared.
