Why is vitamin D important?

Vitamin D is an oil–soluble vitamin, which is also known as the sunshine vitamin. UV rays activate a certain form of cholesterol in our body and change it to vitamin D. If enough sunshine is available only during summer, which is our case in Finland, it is advised to use vitamin D supplements from September until June.

The most important role of vitamin D is to regulate the absorption of calcium in our bodies. The main factor in calcium absorption is the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol. In addition our bodies need vitamin D for blood clotting and heart rate support, decreasing the risk of infection and diabetes, development of bones and teeth and for better absorption of phosphorus.

Vitamin D3

We use vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol in our vitamin D supplements, which is made from sheep wool´s lanolin aka wool fat.

How much vitamin D?

In Estonia, the recommended daily dosage is between 10-20 μg, i.e. 400-800 IU. The maximum safe daily dosage of vitamin D is 100 μg, i.e. 4000 IU. Based on scientific studies and patient work experience, adults must use at least 30-50 μg of vitamin D per day to maintain an adequate vitamin D level. 100 μg per day over a few months is suitable for boosting low vitamin D levels.
