Vitamin D, also known as Cholecalciferol, helps absorb calcium which is essential for signaling between brain cells, development of bone, and tooth formation. Vitamin D is actually a hormone and also helps with mood and mental health, and maintaining a healthy immune system. You can get Vitamin D from sunlight and also fish like salmon, herring and mackerel. So make sure you get enough sun and beware of deficiency which can cause muscle loss, low immunity levels and a higher potential for diabetes or cancer.
Our Vitamin D is based on the shape of the actual molecule!
