However, a growing body of research highlights its important role in supporting other body systems, including cardiovascular and blood sugar balance as well as increasing musculoskeletal strength, neurological and immune function enabled by its ability to target over 200 different genes throughout the body. At the same time, deficiency and insufficiency of this important nutrient has reached epidemic proportions around the world, making the achievement of optimal levels extremely important to overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown as the sunshine vitamin, one of the key roles of vitamin D is maintaining serum calcium and phosphorous balance. The body makes vitamin D by converting vitamin D2 to D3, or cholecalciferol, when the skin is exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D supplements come in two forms, D2 and D3. Studies have found vitamin D3 is the preferable form, as it has been found to maintain active vitamin D levels for a longer period of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vitamin D formula is delivered as D3 (cholecalciferol) for optimal use by the body, and is available in 1,000 and 5,000 IU capsules to meet a variety of individual needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 or more capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps Increase Musculoskeletal Strength and Comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D Depletion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it has long been assumed that the majority of the population achieves adequate levels of vitamin D through exposure to the sun, the biosynthesis of the nutrient is affected by time of day, seasons, location, smog\/pollution, clothing, and sunscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBone and Dental Health\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNumerous studies have highlighted the importance of vitamin D to maintaining healthy bone density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCardiometabolic Health and Blood Sugar Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn light of the role that vitamin D plays in a variety of tissues and body systems, it comes as no surprise that much research from recent years has underscored its contribution to cardiometabolic wellness.

An important recent study suggested that improving vitamin D status significantly affects the expression of genetic pathways linked to immune activity.
